I wanted to ask, is it not unusual or not unheard of for a portion of people on the autism spectrum to be asexual?
Because I got out of a failed relationship a few months ago, the relationship was not entirely negative, here were the pros and cons of the relationship.
Positive part: when it came to the companionship and the mental and emotional support part or just being there for each other, hanging out, that was the good part of the relationship.
Negative part: my ex-girlfriend, she was not really comfortable with sex, or just doing anything further beyond kissing and making out.
Because of that, I feel that it wasn't a true relationship.
I also feel like I stayed with her longer than I should have but I was reluctant to break up with her for a while because I didn't want to become alone and Single Again, bigger reason and that is I didn't want to have to go through the drama or burden of having to put myself out there all over again.
She was also on the autism spectrum just like I am.
I wanted sex but she didn't.
Are a portion of people on the autism spectrum asexual?
A part of me is also thinking of the possibility that it's possible that she just wasn't ready.
I stayed with her longer than I believe I should have because I was hoping that she would eventually become comfortable or change her mind but unfortunately she didn't.
So overall is it not unusual and not unheard of for a portion of people on the autism spectrum to be asexual?
Yeah this failed relationship has been the main source of my anger and bitterness and resentment for the past few months and why I have made certain comments on this forum.
