Private Time: Helping Teen Boys with Autism Understand Erections, Masturbation, and Privacy
A clear, calm, honest guide for autistic teen boys learning about erections, masturbation, privacy, and growing up.
Puberty can be overwhelming for any teenager—but for boys with autism, these changes can be confusing, intense, and sometimes frightening. Many parents struggle to explain what’s happening in a simple, direct way their son can actually understand. This book fills that gap.
Private Time is a gentle social-story style guide written specifically for autistic boys who need clear rules, simple language, and straightforward explanations about their changing bodies. It focuses on the topics that are often ignored, avoided, or handled vaguely—yet are absolutely essential for safety, confidence, and healthy development.
This book teaches boys exactly what erections are, why they happen, what masturbation means, where it is allowed, and how to stay clean and private. The tone is calm, supportive, and respectful. There is no shame, no fear, no judgment—just clear information to help boys stay safe and understand themselves.
