Help me study for my Social Science class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

This Discussion board post brings attention to the important area of sexuality and disability. The course textbook reminds readers that all people need affection, love, and companionship, including those with cognitive, intellectual, emotional, and physical disabilities.

However, people with disabilities likely have unique needs in terms of sexuality and these needs change across type of disability and developmental stage. For this post, we will consider the unique needs of children with cognitive or intellectual disabilities (e.g., autism, Downs Syndrome).
