How do people with ASD view God and their connection to god if any.

  • I'm an atheist.

    The weird thing is I was raised religious and I've found it hard to let go of my religious hang ups. 

    I have a lot of hang ups around sex and sexuality. I know it's not logical but I don't like men other than my husband seeing my shoulders, knees, hair down, make up on etc. My husband is neurotypical and also an atheist who isn't the least bit possessive (from a different religion too) so he encourages me to wear shorter shorts if it's hot or buy spaghetti strap tops.

    Don't get me wrong, I love sex and I had partners before I was married but I couldn't relax and enjoy it the way I do with my husband. 

    My husband has remarked that I'm totally different now that we're married. I blame the mega religious upbringing and the autistic need to comply, if anyone else has an explanation I'd be interested to hear it.
