Birds, Bees, and Special Needs: Understanding Sexuality for Neurodiverse Children | Ep29

Unlock the secrets to having meaningful and effective conversations about sexuality with neurodivergent children in this enlightening episode. Join me as I sit down with Amy Lang, MA, a celebrated sexuality educator with a focus on neurodiversity. Amy shares her inspiring journey from general sex education to a specialized focus, which was driven by her personal experiences and the glaring lack of resources for neurodivergent families. Together, we address the intricacies and unique challenges of discussing sexual health with neurodivergent kids, emphasizing the importance of using proper anatomical terms and fostering open, honest dialogue to ensure a safe and informed environment for young minds. We navigate the critical role parents play in supporting their children's exploration of sexuality. From understanding teenage sexuality to preparing children for sexual health responsibilities, we provide a toolkit for parents to engage in these essential conversations, encouraging a sex-positive perspective and nurturing stronger family bonds. This episode also tackles the tough subjects of STIs, pregnancy, and pornography, especially in the context of neurodivergent and disabled individuals. Learn effective communication strategies to address these sensitive topics, while empowering your children with the knowledge they need to navigate their social environments safely. With resources like Amy's book "Sex Talks with Tweens", parents will be better equipped to maintain open lines of communication and guide their children toward a healthy understanding of sexuality.
