Abstract
Increasing numbers of international studies were published to understand the sexuality and sex educational needs of young people affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), yet very few were found in Asian Chinese societies. To better understand sex education phenomenon for ASD students in Chinese context, we review the sex education published studies, including case studies, empirical studies, and clinical reviews related to Chinese ASD young people in East Asia, from 1980 to 2018, based on multiple database search and social-relational model of disability. Thirteen published articles published in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan were found and discussed under the following themes: (1) Misconceptions; (2) Reservations of educators and parents; and (3) Sexuality education is inaccessible. We found that sex education for young people with ASD in Chinese community remains as a taboo and lacks a comprehensive framework in sex education curriculum.
