I'm aromantic and asexual, and have yet to meet anyone else like me in real life, whether on the spectrum or not. I feel kind of invisible sometimes. Are there any other aspie/autistics here who identify as aro, ace or both?

GOSH I thought I was the only ace/aro in the world! Even in the aspie world! Thanks! There is no support where I live for that. It is not acceptable around here! Ppl just don't get that I do NOT want any! It is apparently unheard of!

I had to read up on asexuality on Wikipedia to decide. I guess so.

I am aro/ace based on the wikipedia articles. Used to be romantic and sexual, when I was young, but the people I fell for disabused me of my delusions. I thank God that I did not get AIDS.

I no longer listen to rock songs on the radio, as they had programmed me to believe in romanticism, in falling in love and all that garbage. Now since I know how programmable I am, I carefully manage which songs I listen to.

I had a bad relationship with my ex... And now I don't even know if I want to be with anyone anymore... I can find people attractive.. But scared or just don't feel like relationships at least not right now. And also confused over liking men or women... In this area is a complete fog I have absolutely noo idea what I want :lol:

The origin of my sexuality is a bit muddled. I've always been repulsed at the idea of seeing a man naked (even uncomfortable around other women, despite having been taken to many nudist locations as a child). I don't know if I feel this way because it's how I was born, or because at the age of four, I experienced some things that would, once I grew up and fully understood what had happened, cause me to develop PTSD. I don't know if my asexuality is organic or induced, all I know is that the idea of seeing a disrobed male in any capacity at this point in my life fills me with severe anxiety and fear.

Thankyou startrekker. The idea of seeing naked man frightens me

I move between ace, gray, demi, and stone. It feels good to be yourself. I remember the first time I experienced a menstrual cycle at the age of 12 and cried my eyes out because it meant I had to enter a heterosexual female role - so, I thought, but it did not make the blues go away. They call it the curse. For me it was a curse on a whole new level. I wish I could have embraced my "aceness" at 12 and for the rest of my life. Instead I see this now as a 58 year old woman past menopause. Better late than never.

I'm pretty sure I'm Ace but I'm not comfortable with the label. I like the idea of romantic relationships but I have little interest in coitus. It's difficult in relationships because it leaves women assuming you are a closeted homosexual or that they have an unattractive body.

I've gone to an Ace Meetup before. I didn't really care for it because half the people there were trying to be the most Ace out of all the Aces in Acedom and it was just a little much. I would rather talk about comics, books, or movies than about how much I don't want to have sex. It just seems like overcompensating behavior.

Several of the girls there seemed pretty cool. I did get an Aspie vibe off of three of them, but I wouldn't say anything in a public venue. A really cool girl that liked Hawkeye made throat noises when it was too quiet and had a tic that looked an awful lot like stimming. Bad timing for a meetcute.

Maybe, but it was only when things were too quite. It struck me as curious because I've heard the same exact thing before in the relaxation room of the ASD therapist I go to.

Also equally plausible you are correct and I came to an incorrect conclusion based on me reading into something. Only real way to figure this out is you fly to DC area, attend the next meet up, We both take notes, and then we launch a survey through reasearchmatch. Because Science. I'm already drafting the grant paperwork
