August 8, 2008, Newsletter Issue #103: Autism in Adolescence

1

Tip of the Week



Adolescence is a difficult time for any child transitioning through this stage of his life. Individuals with autism are faced with unique challenges that are relevant to their particular level of functioning.

Ironically, the higher functioning the autistic adolescent is, the more problems he faces during the teenage years. Individuals with Asperger's syndrome are particularly delicate during this stage because they are aware of their differences but they are unable to navigate through social situations very well.

Among the common concerns are sexual development and social interaction. Some autistic adolescents have difficulty understanding modesty and delicate social rules when it comes to sexuality. Many of these individuals are not likely to refrain from touching themselves and touching others inappropriately.

The complexity of social contact and sexual contact is very confusing. While the autistic adolescent is encouraged to reach out and interact with others, he is suddenly instructed to refrain from this same behavior when sexuality is a factor.
