Description
Masturbation, Autism and Learning Disabilities: A Guide for Parents and Professionals by Melanie Gadd explores the complexities of self-touch and masturbation in individuals with learning disabilities and/or on the autistic spectrum. The book examines societal, cultural, and religious views of masturbation, as well as the right to be sexual, how to masturbate, and appropriate public and private behaviour.
It also delves into professional responsibilities and boundaries, and the legal aspects of this topic. The guide provides good practice responses with examples of the issues and solutions in action, offering valuable insights for parents, professionals, and anyone seeking to support individuals with these needs.
