I want to know more about the situation when adolescencts with disabilities facing romantic relationships, thanks!

You’re welcome.

Thank you.

During adolescence, when dating and sexuality are usually explored, disabled youth generally come to realize that the standard norms of attraction and romance do not apply to them. Discussions about romance and sex are often avoided by parents, teachers, health care providers, and sometimes also by able-bodied siblings and/or peers, either in a misguided attempt to shelter children with disabilities from emotional pain, or because they perceive these issues to be irrelevant. Correspondingly, children and adolescents with disabilities are frequently encouraged to focus their energies on goals presumed to be more realistic and attainable than dating, marriage, and childbearing—school being a common point of emphasis.
