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 suicideAnd particularly when it comes to sexuality and relationships:- a high risk of becoming a victim of physical or sexual abuseIf 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.
