This guide is a sexuality and sex education resource written specifically for autistic people age 15 and up. Autistic people sometimes don’t have the chance to learn about sexuality and sex in ways that work for them, so OAR created this guide as a starting point to change that.
In each of the nine sections of the guide, self-advocates will be able to read articles and watch brief videos before testing their knowledge about a given topic and practicing new skills.

Queer Liberation Library is fighting to build a vibrant, flourishing queer future by connecting LGBTQ+ people with literature, information, and resources that celebrate the unique and empowering diversity of our community.
Trans Library - a compendium of books written by, about, or featuring trans people.
Note from the creator:
Hi! My name is Rhys (@readwithrhys on instagram, he/him) and I created this spreadsheet for not only me to keep track of trans lead books or books by trans authors, but also for YOU to find books in your preferred genres with trans characters or by trans authors! Not all of these authors are trans, but cis authors do write in trans characters, so still research a book before you read it. Enjoy! I will update this whenever I find another book <3
