Autism Society - Autism Society. The objective of treatment-guided research is to bring research and treatment together to help people now.
It involves learning about the different ways people respond to treatments so that through helping people, we can gain valuable insights into the workings of autism. Many people with autism have chronic medical conditions that are often ignored. Through treatment-guided research, we can learn what is contributing to these conditions and look at autism as a whole-body condition, not a mental health disability. Under the direction of Dr. Martha Herbert, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, the objective of the Autism Society’s Treatment-Guided Research Initiative (TGRI), is to support a new generation of treatment-based research that will bring early and effective treatment to all people with autism. Treatment-guided research seeks to turn current treatment experience collected by families every day into data for science.

Lindsey Nebekernakedbrainink.com One of my blog readers who is on the autism spectrum brought up a concern regarding recent bedroom issues.
This person is finding that the process of achieving orgasm has become increasingly difficult: "[Since learning more about my ASD diagnosis] I've been noticing a growing awareness in what is going on around me and what my body is feeling ... and it is becoming sort of distracting during sex, mainly orgasm. As I began to feel my self start to climax I suddenly became very focused on the noises and things in the room such as the fan running, and how the moving air felt on my skin. Then I suddenly became overwhelmed with my body itself, to the point that it took away the orgasm.
This person is not alone. Let’s make one thing clear: people with autism do experience orgasms. There has yet to be a scientific study conducted on orgasm and its effect on people on the autism spectrum. First, let's break down the hypotheses... Time to play devil’s advocate. 1.
