It’s everywhere - you can’t avoid it

For many young people, it’s harder to avoid pornography than it is to see it. Autistic young people are no exception.

Young people may seek pornography out, but they are also being exposed to it accidentally. It might appear uninvited on the screen through an unrelated search, pop-ups, on their social media, in games, in their messages or emails, or any other online context. Or someone else might show it to them in person. It’s not so much a question of if they will see it, as when.
