Autism and sexual desire

NAS72060

I wondered wether there’s something in being on the autism spectrum and having reduced sexual desire-not come across anything in my reading yet so wondered what people’s experiences are? Oh and asking as a woman too. Thanks

  • Compared with neurotypical people, autistic people are more likely to be authentic about their sexual identity, whereas neurotypical people tend to follow what everyone else around them is doing.  For this reason, gender identity and sexuality are more varied among autistic people than in the neurotypical population. Basically, autistic people tend to be more evolved because they have had less social conditioning.
