What is Autism? • Autism is a lifelong development condition that affects how individuals
communicate and relate to other people and the world around them. It is often referred to as an autism spectrum disorder or more recently an autism spectrum condition. The spectrum is broad and variable depending on the individual.
• It is important to also understand that there is no “cure” for autism but receiving a diagnosis for many can be the first step to identifying appropriate support for the individuals and their family. Equally, for the practitioners supporting the individuals.
• Individuals on the spectrum will adapt and adjust as they develop.
• It is important to remember that the autism spectrum is not a linear condition, but rather a condition in which there are also impacts from the environment and sometimes from the stresses of daily life.
• 1 in 100 with ASD (Baird et al., 2006) Latest research suggests 1 in 88.
• 1 in 68 with ASD in young children (Christensen DL, Baio J, Braun KV, et al. 2012)Autism Network Scotland

Keep Safe, Have Fun, Stay Out of Trouble: Context
• Partnership project – ANS, SDF, CKUK & SG• Funded by Innovation and Development Fund through
Scottish Strategy for Autism• Development of a phone app to support appropriate
behaviours in relation to sexual health and relationships
• Developed through ongoing consultation with young people, families & practitioners
• Linked to The Scottish Strategy for Autism- National Outcomes 2 & 3 – Choice & Control and Independent Living
![Page 48: Speech, Language and Communication Needs in Youth Justice ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021019/62045339906b397b707d8260/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Why are we doing it?• A number of people with autism have real gaps in their
sexual knowledge.Autistic people can:• Miss out on full exploration of the sexual potential in
their lives.• Find themselves in very vulnerable sexual situations.• Engage in sexual behaviours which are harmful to
themselves and others.• There is an over representation of people with autism in
criminal justice system. Many people with autism who come in to contact with the criminal justice system will not have a diagnosis of autism.
![Page 49: Speech, Language and Communication Needs in Youth Justice ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021019/62045339906b397b707d8260/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Challenges for autistic young people•Difficulty in processing the information about sexuality which most of us take for granted.
•Difficulty in understanding social cues that support appropriate behaviour.
•Being aware of rules: legislation & implicit ‘rules of engagement’
•May not have access to tools that help develop understanding of self as a sexual person (peer chat, independent time - opportunities to experiment in safe space)
![Page 50: Speech, Language and Communication Needs in Youth Justice ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021019/62045339906b397b707d8260/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Who is the app for?
•Young people from age 15+ years•Diagnosis of autism/social communication difficulties
•Able to use a smart phone and understand key themes
•Accessed sexual health education*
![Page 51: Speech, Language and Communication Needs in Youth Justice ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021019/62045339906b397b707d8260/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
What will the app do?• Support YP to make appropriate decisions about their sexual health
and relationships.• Complements existing face-to-face teaching –not a replacement for.• Helps YP to remember rules when acting independently.• Help people to explore the potential of themselves as a sexual being.• Decrease the number of YP with autism who fall into the criminal
justice system.• Themes include:- Appropriate touch- Consent- Sexting
![Page 52: Speech, Language and Communication Needs in Youth Justice ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021019/62045339906b397b707d8260/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
How will we do it?• Phase One: Road show/Consultation – what do you want
and need?- young people- practitioners- parents
• Phase Two: Development of app with CKUK
• Phase Three: Road show/Consultation - what do you think? Training on app and sexual health
- young people- practitioners- parents

Intergenerational Cycle
“Scottish Government are working to develop an action plan which identifies key actions which would interrupt the inter-generational cycle of communication needs. This work is being developed in partnership with a range of stakeholders and has been informed by 2 summit events. It is intended that the action plan will be prepared by the end of the 2017.” Scottish Government
