摘要：
The current study examined intended plans of parents of children (3–18 years) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to communicate with them about sexuality topics including sexual abuse. Participants included 87 parents/guardians who completed an online survey. Results revealed that parents are concerned about the sexual victimization of their children with ASD. While many have spoken to their children about some aspects of sexuality education, most feel ill-equipped to handle such discussions. Characteristics of ASD may make prevention programming difficult, and parents worry about ways to teach their children about sexuality issues. Limitations and implications of the findings are discussed. Recommendations for sexuality education programming, including child sexual abuse prevention, for this population are provided.
