Sex, Sexuality and the Autism Spectrum

Written by an ‘insider’, an openly gay autistic adult, Wendy Lawson writes frankly and honestly about autism, sex and sexuality. In her new book, she draws upon her own experience to examine the implications of being autistic on relationships, sex and sexuality. Having discussed subjects such as basic sex education and autism, the author goes further to explore the wider issues of interpersonal relationships, same sex attraction, bisexuality and transgender issues. She also examines the unspoken rules that exist between people in relationships and explains why these rules can be difficult and confusing for people with autism. This book will give courage and information to adults with autism or Asperger Syndrome and provide essential insights to those living and working with them.

A note from the publisher: Wenn began his publishing career with JKP in 2000 under the name of Wendy Lawson. At this time, Wenn had not recognised his true gender and still struggled with gender dysphoria and the understanding of his autism diagnosis. He went on to publish many books under the name of Wendy Lawson, until 2016 when he transitioned and began writing as Wenn B. Lawson.

As his publishers, we wish to recognise Wendy Lawson as Wenn B. Lawson and fully endorse the material written in either name, whilst acknowledging how Wenn’s gender transition has allowed him to become the person he is today.
