Paraphilias and sexuality in Autism

Hope

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.

    I have no sex drive at all, but I get 'turned on' by my own body - auto-erotism. I also get turned on by seeing other women naked or partially clad. I am definitely not 'straight', but I have never been in a relationship.

    I know this might sound sexist, but it isn't meant to be in any way. But I can't figure out why any women would want to sleep with a man. Women are much more interesting sexually. I find partially clad females more interesting than naked females.

    I used to get imensely turned on by certain fabrics touching my skin, sports shorts for instance if I had no underwear on. I think If I was a women I would get turned on all the time from underwear etc. 

    I've only ever slept with one person and I'm nearly 30. Sexual compatability is very important for me. I do have time's when I have to get up in the middle of the night to mastubate as I'm extremely aroused and my partner isn't up for it.
