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.
I was raised orthodox Jewish so there's not much of our services on TV but my husband was raised Presbyterian/church of scotland (we had a humanist wedding - family readings came from our relatives who were a rabbi - reform my parents have chilled out a bit, husbands family 2 ministers, it was like a comedy of how many celebrants can one wedding have).
Husband will occasionally sing the odd chorus of Jerusalem when he's watching TV, I appreciate it as a nice song for the WI but it means nothing else to me.

I worry about "passing on" my autism but is it really that bad? People act like autism is the end of the world but is it? I doubt myself constantly and then doubt myself for doubting myself.
