Workshop: Demystifying “The Sex Talk”

July 31, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm $39.99 – $59.99

Current research undeniably supports the value of comprehensive sexuality education, with benefits ranging from reduced rates of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, to decreased instances of sexual harm, to a positive impact on global climate change; however, these important conversations are often not inclusive of autistic and neurodivergent individuals. This is not only because health class is often deprioritized for these students, but also because sexuality topics like consent and healthy relationships are often covered through the lens of unwritten and assumed social rules. This often leaves both autistic individuals and their support system feeling underequipped to discuss important topics like consent, boundaries, healthy relationships, and socially appropriate behaviors within those relationships. This workshop aims to demystify those topics and provide tangible tools for their discussion.
