Abstract

Children with autism, like children in general, also have experienced sexual development. The unique condition of children with autism (ASD) sometimes makes them engage in inappropriate sexual behavior and become vulnerable to sexual violence. Therefore, sexual education for children with autism is crucial and urgent. A team conducted this community service in January 2020 to provide social stories and PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) as alternative teaching materials for sex education to children with autism at Rumah Autis Depok. The methods used were pre-observation, unstructured discussion and interview, implementation preparation, implementation, and monitoring. They quickly understood the message intended from PECS and social stories. The sex education materials showed differences in male and female bodies, sexes, and reproductive functions. This material is the starting material in sex education. Continuity using the same learning tools, namely social stories and PECS, is therefore required. Our monitoring process shows that Rumah Autis Depok continues to use social stories and PECS in their sex education lessons

Abstract

This research is motivated by the researchers' concern about children,  especially adolescents with autism. Autism is not a mental illness but it is a disorder that affects  the brain, causing it to not function properly. This can be seen in the behavior of children with autism. The purpose of this research is  to find out the experiences of parents of  children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. This research uses a qualitative research design with a research approach to phenomenology. The result of this research showed that sex knowledge of children with autism spectrum disorder is still limited to  knowledge of differences between male and female sexes. They obtained sexual knowledge education from schools, while some received it from teachers, therapists, and parents. The level of independence is high. Sexual prohibition is important to give children the knowhow to maintain behavior towards the opposite sex. To improve the sexual health education of parents who have children with autism spectrum disorder, they can attend sexual education seminars.
