Description du livre
The current state of society presents an alarming prospect for those with autism:
- low quality of life when it comes to health
- a high risk of becoming a victim of bullying, exploitation, and/or violence
- an increased risk for physical and psychological illnesses
- a significantly increased risk of dying early
- increased risk of suicide
And, particularly when it comes to sexuality and relationships:
- a high risk of becoming a victim of physical or sexual abuse
If we wish to help those with autism achieve successful and healthy relationships and sexuality, society needs to undergo a fundamental change. To succeed, we need a new socio-psychological/dynamic developmental view of autism that takes both society and culture into account.
This book explores why this has not yet happened, and what exactly needs to change: the specific, concrete, practical approaches we can take to improving the lives of those with autism.
