Online Safety and Pornography Pitfalls

Nov 2

British Psychologist Wenn Lawson and Autism Expert and Legal Consultant Carol Weinman discuss some of the challenges and pitfalls that face autistic individuals when they choose to engage with pornography. From algorithms that intentionally target vulnerable and naive populations to simple, one-click steps where an individual can find themselves involved in criminal activity, this session details the reasons why many autistic individuals turn to pornography and discusses when and how this choice can get them into legal trouble. The session concludes with resources about where individuals on the spectrum can get safe information about adult sexuality and how they can protect themselves from unknowingly falling prey to the pitfalls of the porn industry.
