Paraphilias and sexuality in Autism

Hope
over 11 years ago

Is it more common for people with Autism to get 'turned on' in an unconventional way, namely through fetishes and paraphilias?

For example, getting 'turned on' by a certain perfume associated with a particular person and becoming obsessed with that perfume, obsessions with parts of the body as opposed to the whole body, 'turned on' by underwear or taboos. I have a number of these myself, getting pleasure in an unconventional way, which I never talk about to people I know because I am aware that it is not 'normal'.  I have been aroused by these things since I was about 8 years old.
