It's a tossed salad of questions from parents: periods, gayness, and circumcision. I was a little out of whack, so be patient as you listen/watch.

  Lots of parents wonder if they should put their teen on birth control. There are pros and cons, and in my mind, it's mainly pros. Teens have sex without planning for it all the time.  It "just happens", remember? When your teen is on birth control before they need it, it's a good thing. It can make their periods easier and prevent an unplanned pregnancy.    At the very least, they should have easy access to condoms and a clear understanding of how they work and why to use them.   Vids for Kids (and you): Birth Control Basics  How Do I Properly Put on a Condom   Your next step?

Many parents of autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent kids wonder if it's okay to put their kids on birth control. This is a "yes and maybe" for me. They often think their child is "too young" due to their developmental level, but their bodies can be ahead of their brains. This can put them at risk for being taken advantage of or making impulsive decisions.   At the very least, they should have easy access to condoms and a clear understanding of how they work and why to use them.   A very wordy, ND friendly description of birth control is here.   Vids for Kids (and you) Birth Control Basics  How Do I Properly Put on a Condom Your next step?

Often, neurodivergent kids struggle to understand why people would have sex for pleasure. This may be due to sensory issues, disinterest, or the assumption by adults that they aren't (and won't ) be interested, so don't need to know this.   It's best to assume your kid will be interested in sex and relationships so that they can have a healthy and fun sex life - if they want one.   Your next step?
