Abstract
In this study, we investigated 1) from which sources adolescents (with and without ASD) received information regarding sex, 2) to what extend parents and adolescents differed in how they reported about the received information on sex and from which sources, and 3) whether there were differences between adolescent with and without ASD. From the results, it became clear that adolescent with ASD generally received less information on sex, and less from specific sources such as parents, teachers and friends, than adolescents without ASD. This indicates that it is important to pay attention to providing information on sex to adolescents with ASD. Moreover, it is important to collect data from several informants, to get a more complete picture of the received information and knowledge on sex of adolescents. Ideally, parents and adolescents should discuss these topics more, to clarify which information is needed and how more intimate issues can be discussed, to in that way improve the providence of information and support from parents.
