Abstract
Only few authors have investigated sexuality of people with high-functioning autism yet. The researches focused on this issue bring heterogeneous results.
In terms of sexual orientation studies demonstrate higher level of so-called ""asexuality"" in individuals with highfunctioning autism, a lower degree of heterosexuality in highfunctioning women and a higher level of so-called bisexuality in men with high- functioning autism. There is a dichotomy between studies realized directly with probands and those realized with their caregivers.
These researches bring different results in a domain of sexual behaviour and privacy knowledge. The studies confirmed lower social skills in high-functioning persons conclusively and the most of works showed their less sexual experience.
One of the studies documented higher level of deviant sexual features compared to assumption in the general population.
