Description: While certainly not a new topic of interest, the number of research studies and publications on the sexuality of people with autism has exploded in the past year.  Research shows more people with autism reporting they don't conform to traditional sexual definitions.   In addition to having to navigate the world of having autism, they also have to figure out how to deal with exclusion based on sexual orientation and coming out.  They are a double disadvantaged community.   Also, females with autism seem to be at particular risk of poor sexual experiences.  This podcast reviews the research all leading to a reported need for better sexual education, and a promising intervention to help people with ASD.  Publications cited are:   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29086210 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5570786/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27565655 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28877047 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28342163 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28299510 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28691307
