Thank you for your response IsabellaLinton It’s still too early to tell if my daughter is ASD - she passes all her basic exams at the doctors office but she screams and cries 24/7 and shakes her hands out of frustration. My wife and I are suspicious that this could be early signs of ASD but we are v...

I’m a father to a beautiful baby and a beautiful, wonderful wife - on paper everything is perfect - but it’s far from. I can’t help with the baby the way my wife needs me to because I get so nervous and when she cries I have meltdowns. I see a lot of posts here about neurotypical parents raising aut...

I’m an adult male and I don’t care for sex. I don’t hate it, sometimes I even can like it, I just would prefer to live in a world where it doesn’t exist. I hate how “sexual” our modern culture is. I’m a holding hands kind of guy. I like to be treated sweetly. I find sex extremely obnoxious and awkwa...

Loud or unexpected sounds create a sense of urgency for me. I wish I could just wear noise canceling headphones all the time because I love the peace that comes over my body when I have them on. Unfortunately I can’t do this because I have to appear normal at work and am embarrassed of the whole sit...

I am not asexual but I do not have much interest in sex. This makes things difficult for my marriage sometimes because of course my wife wants to know I love her and a big part of love is sex but I honestly feel more connected to her when we are just simply holding hands or when she gives me a sweet...

I feel this way a lot. I just want to stay home in my tiny apartment and be alone with my family even though I know I make their lives worse. My poor wife - I secretly cry nightly about my behavior and my constant need for her to affirm her love for me. I know I am not were I should be for a man app...
