Well it comes as no surprise that the heterosexuals are in the majority, but what is surprising is that they only have 57% in the aspie world. Its also interesting that asexuals are nearly equal to homosexuals with 14% and 15% respectively. In the NT world, asexuals are only about 1%.
Well, among the general population of Britain, a poll found 1%. We don't know how many of that 1% were NTs, or if the percentages will be the same in every country. There is some evidence of a connection it seems, such as polls like this. IF the 1% figure is accurate and representative across countries, then the fact that among the 150 people answering this poll, 23 people instead of 1 or 2 claim to be asexual suggests there is a big difference between the people answering this poll and the general population. The next question is, are fora like this representative of non-NTs, OR of asexuals in general? Maybe there is a subgroup of people who like me are autistic, asexual, and like Internet fora, who are on here answering these polls, while the great majority of people in each of these three groups are only one of the things.
