Sexuality, autism 

Sex for autistic folks isn't even about sex.
It's about Touching, intimacy, trust, sharing, and Enthusiasm.
Almost all our 'Fetishes' are just co-defied forms for accessing this kind of intimacy, as usually it's been twisted by trauma in our childhoods.

And that can lead to all sorts of Queerness, asexuality, grey-ace stuff, major hangups and shyness.

And it can make us feel like we're not really part of the Queer community because we're not gay Or Straight or really even Bi or Pan.

Our preference is usually just for someone who Gets it and doesn't need a Walkthru for how to have sex.
