“…The sex differences in ''Taste, Smell, and Touch Response and Use'' in our study, if replicated with other samples, could lead to the development of useful diagnostic tools, increasing service and therapeutic efficacy for female children with HFASDs. Stauder, Cornet, and Ponds (2011) suggested that the inclusion of gender role behavior may be helpful in the diagnostic evaluation of ASD.…”

Nurses working in schools, institutions and general health care support children, adolescents and adults with autism and advice their families, teachers, other educators and caregivers on sexuality issues. They can have an important role in daily assessment and support of this developmental domain by actively enquiring about the different aspects of sexual development and by offering information. Our findings offer an overview on the existing knowledge and support the idea that sexual development is normative for people with autism just as for anybody else.

“…It is unknown whether intellectual development, social appropriateness, and gender role identification influence sexual orientation among individuals with ASD. However, one empirical article did report less masculine gender roles in ASD males when assessed with the MMPI [47].

Sex education is an important but often inadequately addressed topic for patients with autism spectrum disorder. A dominant theory in autism, Theory of Mind, helps to explain why the sex education needs of people with this disorder are unique. This paper argues the importance of high quality sex education from the perspective of the World Health Organization's recent comprehensive definition of sexual health. Each point from the World Health Organization's definition is addressed with discussion of its application to people with autism spectrum disorder, suggestions for remediation, and public health implications. Seven points are addressed: physical well-being in relation to sexuality; emotional and mental well-being in relation to sexuality; social well-being in relation to sexuality; disease, dysfunction, or infirmity; positive and respectful approaches to sexuality and sexual relationships; freedom from coercion and violence; and freedom from discrimination. Sex education is important to the quality of life and safety of people with autism. The needs of this population are apparent in all seven areas identified.
