Sex education

hi my 11 year old is having trouble with learning about sex education . He does not want to learn about it and thinks it is gross. Are there any books or sites that can help an autistic child learn this sensitively ?

I'm not sure of any sites but if he is not ready to learn about this yet could you not wait a year or so before getting into details with him, just go with the basics about his body now and cover more as he is more comfortable with it

Yes I am happy to wait but his science teacher told me he must do certain aspects now as part of curriculum.

The first parts covered in secondary science are usually quite basic. I would suggest finding out from his teacher exactly what he is expected to learn about to comply with curriculum and aim for the most basic and generalised coverage of it. Failing that ask the teacher/ senco how they want it addressed sometimes the senco can have some strategies that work
