Finding Hope... A Life Skills Group
For Teens with ASD Traits & Problematic Sexual Behavior
Being a Teen with hfASD Traits Can Be Hard...
Being a teen can be hard, especially when dealing with the confusing issues related to sexuality. For someone with traits of high-functioning Autism, hfASD, the issue of sexuality can pose several challenges, particularly because of one's neurobiological impairment. Challenges are often magnified when sexual behavior problems surface. Teens with hfASD (including Asperger's Syndrome) often experience an uneven social playing field in which they are constantly trying to catch up with everyone else. A sexual behavior problem adds to their confusion and sense of social rejection.
Life Skills Groups Are a Positive Solution!
At The Prevention Project.™ for hfASD Teens, we offer teens, ages 14-17, life skills groups with concrete and simple instructions, explicit delivery of concepts, and visual and active engagement in a supportive environment.
Group topics include;
- Healthy Touch
- How to Handle Sexual Feelings
- Caring for My Changing Body
- Controlling My Body
- Special Safety Rules & Good Boundaries
- Telling the Truth
- Understanding Hurt & Apologizing for Wrong Touching
- Learning to Spot My Warning Signs
