When my daughter was 5, she asked me how babies get out and I told her. A few weeks later she asked how they get in, so I sat her and her 7yo brother down and taught them both together. My son also happens to be autistic and is a visual learner, so I had to do a bit of prep work and find tasteful but obvious images of sex, pregnancy and birth LOL.

But using visuals isn't just for autistic kids. They can be valuable for any child.
