Maximizing Pleasure: Sex and Neurodivergence

The Pincus Center

Learn how sex is impacted by different forms of neurodivergence

Embracing Neurodiversity

If you’re neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, etc) and struggling to understand it, or are neurotypical and want to understand your ND loved one, or are a clinician seeking to better serve your ND clients, our workshops can help.

People with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence often struggle to get what they need out of sexual relationships and situations. In this workshop, we will discuss how neurodiversity can affect sexuality and give strategies for how to help navigate sensory, communication, and relational differences so you can have the best sex possible. Learning Objectives:<ol><li>After completing this training, participants will be able to identify at least 2 ways to accommodate sensory sensitivities in sex.</li><li>Participants in this training will be able to identify at least 2 strategies for communicating with partners around sexual needs related to neurodivergence.</li></ol> This program meets the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and is approved for 1 CE credits. These CE credits may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of certification. Please select the CEU option at registration if you are eligible and wish to receive the certificate.
