Autisophilia?

Hello everyone,

There was this sight that was for nerotypical ex partners of or marriage mates with Hfa. It was for them to express themselves without being judged.

Some of the comments articles,intresting.

  The impression I was left with is it can be extremly hard to cope with us if your not asd yourself.

They hadn't all left their partners but had learned some coping methods.

Along with what we do here have some where to destress with others

I surpose it still depends on if you & the other person can compromise & except each others personality traits.

Not try to change each other.

Does the Asd partner understand they will not always put their self first for a relationship to work?

There was a lot of talk about Asd domestic abuse of non Asd partners, having to control the home enviroment. 

Plus us not meeting the emotional needs of our children!

I think it was an american website.

Attraction is a strong thing but, its not what will make a person stay with you.

I can believe that some people would like many so called high functioning autism traits. Some people value traits that seem rare, just because they're rare. Some people who have autism prefer others with the same traits, because they think it makes life easier. It also seems likely that those who like helping people could find an appeal in those with general autism traits. So in effect people could easily be attracted to someone just because they had autism. But I don't know if they or the autistic person would necessarily recognize it was a major factor.

Which I think a lot of people find sexy.

I'm more thinking of characters who seem to be operating on a different set of music to the rest of the universe. For example, Chloe O'Brian in 24, Samantha "Root" Groves in Person of Interest and Kaylee Frye in Firefly.

I've never felt so old & outdated. I'm 35 but I have no idea who any of those are.

I've had professionals who I'm sure have been turned on by the fact they could walk all over me. Whatever they said was given word of god powers. They had the power to destroy my life (take my child) & they tried to. They gained praise from other professionals from exploiting me. There was nothing I could do. I'm pretty sure I have very low IQ & I didn't see or know how to stop it. So they were very perverted really.

But on TV traits seem to be exploited to make people with Asperger's seem unintentionally funny. Through lack of social skills or emotions. Sometimes portrayed as super intelligent. Which I think a lot of people find sexy.

I believe their are some people attracted to some Autistic characteristics. I don't know about your label? 

There are groups online who call themselves devotees.

They like to watch disabled people in doors doing everything.

They like if the person finds ordinary things difficult.  

Is it sexual? Its at least voyerism.  

But ok if the disabled person consents to this.  

I'm sure some make money from this. I saw a programme about it recentish.

As for those seeking a high functioning asd person. 

I would be a bit weary of that.  I'm under the impression some  think asd women or men will be gullable able to control or easy to wind up for their entertainment.

Can control be exciting to a person with a personality disorder or a potential pimp who grooms adults. 

Yes I think so.  Is that sexual yes.  

To answer your question there are couples that are married to asd people that accept their partners for who they are. 

Back in the day I knew some. Are they together now don't know?

Its nice to hear when some one just likes a person for who they are rather then what condition they have.
