197. When Curiosity Crosses the Line; Navigating Sexual Boundaries

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!
