Growing Up, Your Way — Autism & Puberty Guide | Printable + Fillable PDF
Growing up can bring a lot of questions. This warm, practical guide helps autistic young people understand puberty, care for their changing bodies, express their needs and build confidence—at their own pace.
Written by Walid Berchid, Growing Up, Your Way combines illustrated stories, clear explanations, everyday tips and personal planning tools. Designed primarily for ages 9–15, to explore independently or alongside a trusted adult, with support adapted to the reader.

INSIDE THE BOOK
Body changes; skin, hair and hygiene; breasts and periods; penis and testicle changes, erections and wet dreams; feelings and sensory needs; privacy, consent and personal care; friendships, attraction and online safety; and working with school, family and healthcare professionals. Relevant topics can be selected for each young person, without assuming that everyone experiences puberty in the same way.

Read a little at a time, talk through a story together, print useful pages or type into the digital activities using a PDF reader that supports forms. Free-text fields let readers write their own answers. Longer answers may scroll on screen; check before printing.
Digital product only—no physical book will be shipped. Educational information, not individual medical advice or a complete sexuality education curriculum. AI-assisted writing and illustrations are disclosed in the book.
