Abstract
An important part of the education of people with autism and / or mental disability is the information on socially accepted ways of expressing sexuality and the consequences of non-observance of these rules (American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2001). It also aims to develop and enhance the ability of children and adolescents to make conscious, satisfactory, healthy and full respectful choices about relationships, sexuality, emotional and physical health. Sexual education does not encourage children and adolescents to come into sexual 1427 contact, but they try to inform them (European Expert Group on Sexuality Education, 2015). Therefore, parents and teachers should be informed about typical and unusual sexual behaviors. This research refers to the results of a qualitative research done with the help of semi-structured interviews of 10 parents with children and adolescents with autism and / or mental disability. The sample was selected according to the non-probability theory and was a feasibility study. At the same time, the method used was the interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) designed to co-build meaning rather than measure.
