I'm very interested in this thread. My 16-year old Aspie nephew is most likely gay but still closeted. I would like to be as supportive and helpful to him as possible.

Why do you suspect he's gay?


He have always been somewhat feminine in his demeanor. He has also admitted to his mom that he watches gay porn on a regular basis.

Why would he admit that he watches gay porn? Why did his mom even tell you about that?

Because his mother has always made sure that her kids are comfortable talking with her about anything to include sex. His mother (my sister) confides in me because she got nobody else to talk to.

I guess that's good. I think you should just tell him that you support gay rights. I think he'd feel very awkward if he knew that you know he watches gay porn.

I wasn't pressured to come out as gay. I actually did it secretly anyway. These days I'm in love with a woman so maybe I'm bisexual after all.
