- <mark class="hltr-green">"Masturbation in adolescent boys with autism may be accentuated due to “the lack of other outlets for sexual tension and a predisposition for self-stimulating behaviors””</mark> [Page 4](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/KBNW9Y2F?page=4&annotation=VXA58JBC) ^3e75bd
- <mark class="hltr-yellow">"Hingsburger (1995) submits that caregivers have inadvertently created a “Prison of Protection” for individuals with disabilities through overprotection. Protection from sexual information, relationships, decision-making, and society have limited and, in many cases, harmed individuals with disabilities. Instead, the person should be seen capable of protecting themselves given proper support and education. Hingsburger describes this support model as “The Ring of Safety” which includes privacy awareness, the ability to non-comply, someone who listens, understanding of personal rights, healthy self-concept and selfconfidence, options for healthy sexuality, and sex education”</mark> [Page 5](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/KBNW9Y2F?page=5&annotation=SZTDNCKT) ^c89562
