Love, Sex, and Autism
Oct CE EVENT - hyphen.png
In her #1 bestseller, Love, Sex, and Autism, licensed clinician Candice Christiansen challenges one of the most pervasive myths about autism: the misconception that Autistic adults are not interested in, or capable of, love and intimacy. In her work, she welcomes a more honest conversation that centers one truth: Autistic individuals are capable and deserving of love, healthy sex, and intimacy where they feel safe to be themselves. As part of this truth, though, many Autistic adults also face real-life intimacy challenges—from experiencing differences in neurolove languages and sensory issues in the bedroom to navigating out-of-control sexual behavior and betrayal trauma.

AANE’s 101 for Couples is an online self-paced course that offers partners a new understanding of the role of neurodiversity in their relationship, which can change the narrative and strengthen their connection.
