Autism & Puberty Workbook for Boys | Parent Guide

Support Your Son Through Puberty, One Step at a Time

Puberty can feel overwhelming for any family, especially when your son has autism, an intellectual or developmental disability, communication challenges, or sensory differences. This workbook helps you prepare before the changes happen, not after.

Instead of one hard conversation, you teach puberty through short, repeated lessons. Each one uses picture steps, social stories, and simple language that build confidence, independence, and lifelong hygiene skills.

Inside, You’ll Learn How To:
✔ Spot the early signs of puberty, including the ones he may not put into words
✔ Build daily hygiene routines that stick: deodorant, showering, face care, shaving, and private area care
✔ Explain erections and wet dreams calmly and matter-of-factly
✔ Teach privacy, consent, and healthy boundaries at home, at school, and online
✔ Recognize signs of pain or discomfort in a child who can’t say “it hurts”
✔ Know when to call the doctor, and when to go straight to the ER
✔ Support emotional and behavioral changes, and review school supports with his team
✔ Build independence one skill at a time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I had been putting off the puberty conversation because I didn’t know where to start. My autistic son learns best with visuals, and this workbook made everything much less overwhelming. It breaks puberty, hygiene, shaving and privacy into simple, step-by-step lessons we could work through together. Instead of avoiding these conversations, we finally had a plan. I only wish we’d found it sooner.”
