    About this ebook

    Puberty for anyone can be stressful and confusing. When you are autistic it seems everything can be confusing to understand. Puberty was something that really affected Travis' life and not being prepared to handle it led to a development of a mental illness for him. This book is a first hand account of how puberty affected one person with autism. This book is a guide for how to handle puberty for autistic people written by an individual with autism spectrum disorder who hopes to help make a difference in people's lives. Travis holds nothing back and shares details of his personal life and experiences with puberty to help the reader gain an understanding of how someone with autism might process puberty and sexuality. This book will give you simple steps to help prepare your child for puberty even if they have autism so that they are ready to take on life. There are many useful tips in this book including advice on starting early to prepare for puberty. Travis says we need to teach autistic people from a younger age than neurotypicals because it may take more time to prepare for puberty. From teaching proper social context where it is appropriate to masturbate to helping prepare women with autism for their menstrual cycles by having them wear pads as young as 9 or 10 years old this book has all the tips that Travis can think of on how to better prepare for puberty. Travis shares everything with you that he knows now that he wished he had known as a teenager going through puberty with autism.

      About the Author

      Puberty the Autism Way

      Puberty is something that is very difficult for most teenagers to deal with. We are dealing with changing body parts and serious emotional changes that cause us to think and feel in different ways than we have ever experienced or felt before. When we do not know how to manage our emotions it can cause meltdowns and tantrums that teenagers would not normally be going through without puberty taking its course in our bodies.

      Puberty was very different for me. I have autism so like everything else in life puberty was a bit more challenging for me. There were so many things about puberty that I did not and could never understand. All I knew was that something was happening to my body and I had no idea what it was. There was a number of years in high school that I thought I was a freak or something because of the way my body was changing and all of my emotions were all over the place. I was a nervous wreck as I went through high school.

      I did not have many friends in high school and the ones I did have we did not talk much about our bodies or puberty. Later in life in my studies of autism I would learn that most kids who have friends actually discuss going through puberty with their peers and that helps them find someone to relate to where they can learn about their bodies together.

      When your friends do not talk to you or educate you about puberty that means the only place that you would be able to be educated or get information about puberty would be from your parents.

      Probably the most important job a parent has is protecting their child and keeping them safe. Sometimes in order to protect your child that means that you have to educate him or her and teach him or her about things in life. Life is full of constant changes and if we do not help prepare the kids for the upcoming changes it will become challenging for us to succeed in life.

      Children with autism will often require extra guidance and a little bit more supervision as they are going through all of these changes because not only do that not know what is going on with their bodies, they also struggle dearly with knowing how to communicate what is going on with their bodies. They will often struggle with knowing how to reach out or communicate with someone about all of their feelings.

      As a parent to a child with autism you should not always assume that your child knows what is going on with their body. You should not always assume that nothing is wrong if you do not reach out and
