Paraphilias and sexuality in Autism

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.

  • Im interested in this also. There's a perfume my GF wears that turns me on instantly which I refer to as mating scent. The smell of female genitalia drives me wild.

    I have fetishes also. I like rough sex, certain fabric textures such as satin, lace & fur. I like being tied up.  

    I also focus in on body parts.

    I've always been overly sexual.

    I've never researched this topic, it probably would be interesting. I much prefer sex to consuming drugs and alchohol.
