| Summary: | <p>This research aimed to elaborate in detail on the virtual social story usage in controlling</p><p>the sexual behaviour cues among autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) teenagers. The</p><p>research objectives are to identify inappropriate sexual behaviour cues, develop a</p><p>checklist for recognising sexual behaviour cues, modify sexual behaviour using virtual</p><p>social stories, and analyse the changes in sexual behaviour after using virtual social</p><p>stories. The research involved 12 ASD male participants between the age of 13 to 18</p><p>years old with apparent sexual behaviour problems. This case study was based on</p><p>observations, interviews, and analytical documentation in collecting the data. The</p><p>instruments used were interview protocol, checklist, observation notes, and progress</p><p>reports for data collection. Observation and documentation data were descriptively</p><p>analysed, whilst interview data was thematically transcribed. The finding shows that</p><p>the participants displayed several characteristics of sexual behaviour and differing</p><p>impulsive control depending on the type of practised stimulation, environment and</p><p>encountered experience. It also shows that communication difficulty is the reactive</p><p>cause of sexual behaviour among ASD teenagers. Conclusively, virtual social stories</p><p>may assist ASD teenagers in controlling and modifying sexual behaviour, increasing</p><p>social communication skills. The implications of this research may serve as a basis for</p><p>providing an alternative treatment model for ASD children upon which therapists and</p><p>parents may try new intervention methods using virtual social stories among ASD</p><p>teenagers in related cases.</p> |
