In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast, we’re tackling an often uncomfortable but incredibly important topic: sexual curiosity in our autistic children. As our kids grow, they naturally become curious about their bodies and the bodies of others. But for children on the spectrum, understanding boundaries and social norms around these behaviors can be especially challenging.

Today, we’re discussing how to handle situations where “show me and I’ll show you” games might come into play, and why it’s critical to address these moments early on. I’ll share practical strategies for having open, positive conversations about sexuality, teaching boundaries, and ensuring our kids understand the difference between what’s appropriate in private versus public spaces. Plus, we’ll talk about when it might be time to seek professional help for more complex situations.

This is not an easy subject, but it’s one we need to be prepared for. Join me as we navigate this together, giving our children the knowledge and guidance they need to explore safely and confidently.

Tune in for encouragement, insights, and actionable advice to help you keep going, stay strong, and never give up. You’ve got this!
