What are the rules around that?
I think a lot of “adult” topics are really relevant for people with autism and would be good for many people to discuss. I would like the opportunity sometimes to talk about more adult subjects. I find other people’s perspectives really interesting and adult topics can be discussed in a way that is not offensive nor graphic. I’d be really interested to talk about someone’s experience with prostitutes. I fully appreciate other people wouldn’t. So maybe just a warning in the title of the thread would prevent people from reading the information if they didn’t like that kind of thing?
Sex and intimacy can be a bloody hard emotive subject for people who struggle with sensory overload, lack of control, touch, letting go, change in routine, reading other people’s emotions etc! It’s a nightmare!
sex and intimacy can be none existent for people with autism lol
And yet no one wants to handel that hot potato. I go to a charity that runs social events for autistic people. They started as a dating service but they haven't run as a dating service for years.
Nothing I see online surprises me any more - but sometimes, at the same time, some things online do manage to make even me cringe - some friends have told me about certain stuff as I’m no stranger to gay porn or “blue movies” but even the things I have seen these days are total cringe
