I have no idea Barbsy. Mine has learnt all his SE at school.

Would school have one you could borrow or suggest?

He hated the lessons as they had to look at pictures. All the boys covered their eyes and hummed or made noises. There was only 4 of them but you can imagine can't you.

I hope you find something suitable.

phew im dreading it all, this is actually for a friend of mine who asked as she wasnt happy the way his school are handling it. thanks pixie.

Could your friend have a word with school about how they are handling it or opt out of the lessons.

I don't know if you can opt out but we were asked for consent to allow our son to have the lessons. I assume we could have said no.

If not then it may be good to put aside some time on the day he has the lessons to chat about it and check if he's worried about anything to do with what he's been told during the lesson.

I know that's not always an option with kids often keeping their school life completely seperate to home life.
We have to drag things out of ours on a regular basis.

I don't think any of that is much help really but I can't think of anything else.

My son also had sex education classes at school.
I think they are specially tailored for ASD kids though I couldnt really say what they talked about as my son refused to tell me as he found it very embarassing.
