“…Some of the most challenging and persistent barriers to the sexual expression of people with disabilities are the attitudes that non-disabled people often hold regarding the sexual experiences of disabled people (Kulick & Rydström, 2015;Shakespeare, 2014;Shuttleworth & Sanders, 2010). A significant portion of literature concerning disability and sexuality has examined attitudes towards disability and sexuality, particularly attitudes held by those who work with and care for people with disabilities (e.g., personal attendants, medical professionals, and parents of disabled children; see Addlakha, 2007;Cuskelly & Bryde, 2004;Deal, 2003;DeLoach, 1994;Desjardins, 2012;Esmail, Darry, Walter, & Knupp, 2010;Gilmore & Chambers, 2010;Hamilton, 2002;Kaufman et al, 2007;Kulick & Rydström, 2015;Lewiecki-Wilson, 2011;Pebdani, 2016). Inquiry into this topic has led to the identification of a range of stereotypes that label disabled people as infantilized asexual innocents in need of protection, as undesirable partners, as unfit or unable to have sex or children, and as deviant if they do engage in sexual relations (Abu-Habib, 1995;Brodwin & Frederic, 2010;Esmail et al, 2010;Malacrida, 2007;McRuer & Mollow, 2012;Olkin, 1999;Parchomiuk, 2014;Prillentsky, 2003;Shakespeare et al, 1996;Shuttleworth & Dune, 2009).…”
