| AUTISM | SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR | SEXUALITY | ADOLESCENTSSummary: The main goal of this study was to gain insight into the prevalence of sexual behaviours and experiences of adolescent boys clinically diagnosed with ASD, by focussing on a homogeneous group in terms of intellectual ability, cultural background, age, and diagnosis. The expectation was that these findings would offer insight into the normativity of different sexual behaviours and experiences in high-functioning adolescent boys with ASD. A second goal was to compare self-reported sexual behaviours, attitudes, and interests of adolescent boys with ASD with those of matched peers in the general population. Discusses the findings.
