QUESTIONS
ASDesires is made for Autistic and neurodivergent adults (18+) who want sex and relationship education that fits how their brains and bodies work. That includes people who were left out of sex ed growing up, who got information that was too vague to use, or who were treated as if relationships and sexuality weren’t meant for them.
No. Each masterclass works on its own. The masterclass teaches the information, and the workbook is where you practice it. The workbook adds fillable exercises, reflection prompts, and planning tools that help you apply what you learned to your own life, like building your own routine or writing out what you’d say in a real situation. If you learn best by doing, writing things down, or coming back to material over time, the workbook is worth adding. If you mainly want the information, the masterclass is enough.
Every research claim in ASDesires materials comes from peer reviewed sources, mainly academic journals in Autism research, sexuality, psychology, and social work. Sources are cited in APA 7th edition format and include DOIs, so you can look up the original study yourself. In-text citations appear on the slides, and a full reference list is on the closing slide of each masterclass. When no peer reviewed research exists for a specific point, there’s no citation, and the material says so openly. Research on Autistic adults and sexuality is still limited, so some content draws on clinical training and the lived experience the Autistic community has shared.
All resources are digital, so you get instant access with nothing shipped. Masterclasses are narrated videos. You watch the slides while they’re explained out loud, step by step. You can pause, rewind, and rewatch as often as you need, and every masterclass ends with a full reference list. Workbooks are fillable PDFs. You can type your answers right into the file and save it, or print it out and write by hand. For typing, use Adobe Acrobat Reader (free), since some phone and browser viewers don’t save your answers. (https://get.adobe.com/reader/)
No. All content is educational and written for adults 18 and older. Topics like consent, intimacy, hygiene, pleasure, and relationships are discussed directly and in clinical terms, with correct names for body parts. Nothing is meant to arouse, and there are no explicit images or videos. Since every topic is covered plainly, some content may feel very direct if you’re used to vaguer sex ed. That directness is purposeful due to many Autistic people learning best from clear, literal information.
