Many parents of autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent kids wonder if it’s okay to put their kids on birth control. This is a “yes and maybe” for me. They often think their child is “too young” due to their developmental level, but their bodies can be ahead of their brains. This can put them at risk for being taken advantage of or making impulsive decisions.
At the very least, they should have easy access to condoms and a clear understanding of how they work and why to use them.
A very wordy, ND friendly description of birth control is here.
