Travis talks about the importance of addressing puberty with your children on the autism spectrum. He shares some of his experiences with dealing with puberty later than his peers. He shares mistakes he made when trying to understand puberty and how that led to him being bullied or made fun of. He gives the reader tips and ideas about how to talk to your children about puberty in this great book. This book will be an excellent resource for both parents and educators in teaching teens with autism about puberty. This is not the birds and bees of puberty and sexuality.This book is the real deal and will help you prepare to have the uncomfortable conversations with your children. Travis holds nothing back in this never before seen book. Travis shares how it is important to have these conversations with your children before your child has the conversations with other students. It is so important to be able to beat their peers to the point. As a parent, you want to be the one in charge of having the puberty and sexuality talk with your son and Travis will teach you how to do that in this great book. Here is an excerpt from the book. "It is also important when you are teaching sexuality and puberty to someone with autism that you use real pictures and provide real examples. Do not show them a picture of a cartoon or anything like that because it is not going to go as deep in detail. People with autism need to see the real thing so they know what things look like and they need to hear about the real wordage that our society uses to describe sex. You should never be afraid to talk about the slang words because a person with autism might get bullied like I did if they do not know and understand the real words of sexuality and puberty.
