Abstract

Neurodivergent young people tend to struggle with building and maintaining their romantic relationships. Despite this, there appears to be a lack of appropriate sexuality education delivered to them. This review aims to present and discuss the most current literature (conducted between 2015 and current) on romantic relationships and sexuality education in young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and ASD co-occurring with ADHD. Six internet-based bibliographic databases were used for the present review that followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Thirty-one studies were identified in this review. Twenty-six studies investigated the topic in the autistic young population. Four studies explored qualitatively and 11 quantitatively young people’s perspectives of their romantic relationship experiences. One study investigated qualitatively and three quantitatively young people’s perspectives on sexuality education. One study explored qualitatively and five quantitatively young people’s romantic relationship experiences and two explored qualitatively and three quantitatively sexuality education from caregivers’ perspectives. Five studies (all quantitative, self-reports) investigated romantic relationship experiences in the young population with ADHD. The studies conducted on the topic from the educational professionals’ perspectives were absent in the literature. The literature was also non-existent on the topic in the population with ASD co-occurring with ADHD. To the researchers’ knowledge, this is the first review exploring romantic relationships and sexuality education in three groups of neurodivergent young people (with ASD, ADHD, and ASD co-occurring with ADHD).

从广阔的视角看待神经变异青少年和青年的恋爱关系和性教育经历
神经分化型青少年往往在建立和维持恋爱关系方面遇到困难。尽管如此,似乎仍缺乏针对他们的适当性教育。本综述旨在介绍和讨论有关自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)、注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)以及自闭症谱系障碍并发多动障碍青少年的恋爱关系和性教育的最新文献(2015 年至当前)。本综述使用了六个基于互联网的文献数据库,并遵循了《系统综述和元分析首选报告项目》指南。本综述确定了 31 项研究。其中 26 项研究针对自闭症青少年群体进行了调查。四项研究从定性和 11 项定量的角度探讨了青少年对其恋爱关系经历的看法。一项研究从定性角度和三项定量角度探讨了青少年对性教育的看法。一项研究从定性角度和五项定量角度探讨了青少年的恋爱经历,两项研究从定性角度和三项定量角度探讨了照顾者对性教育的看法。五项研究(均为定量研究,自我报告)调查了患有多动症的青少年的恋爱经历。从教育专业人员的角度进行的研究在文献中并不存在。对于同时患有 ASD 和 ADHD 的人群,也没有这方面的文献。据研究人员所知,这是第一篇探讨三类神经多动症青少年(患有 ASD、ADHD 以及 ASD 同时伴有 ADHD)的恋爱关系和性教育的综述。
