connection between aspergers and asexuality?

I don't think anyone is faking asexuality. It would be easier to lie and say you do have sex or come up with a more socially acceptable explanation for not having sex, like religion. Admitting asexuality takes a lot of bravery because most people won't believe or understand you.

It was interesting to read these posts. I thought I might be the only one who was basically asexual. Even though I have been in a number of relationships, most of them have become short term, ending rather abruptly and angrily when she announced that I was completely clueless to romance, intimacy. and missing all the signals of interest she was sending.
It is now at the point where I would simply rather not get involved.

I'm basically asexual, or 80% so :p
I've dated these NT girls (I'm self diagnosed-AS at the moment)... and I've had crushes and sex, but...
All three girlfriends approached me, so I wonder how much I saw them as a romantic partner before they shared an "interest" in me.
Inevitably, though I can be very romantic and do practical things for my other (notes, draw things for them), the relationship, from my end, always fizzles out to be platonic. I stop caring about having sex, hugging, cuddling, kissing... I think deep down I basically want a companion, and though I have a normal-ish sex drive, not enough sexual attraction to actually be intimate with women...

They both begin with the letter A.
