Sensation & Sexuality Issue, Can't Decipher It

Post Reply New Topic

I have a very sensation issue when it comes to touch. I do not know if other Aspies/Auties experience it & I wonder if it is why I am asexual (most likely). My friends believe I am straight b/c I like yaoi (guyxguy animes). But I have no desire to be with a guy except on rare occasion as friends (very casually) and I know I am not attracted to girls (found out when my ex-friend, a girl had a bad meltdown & grabbed me for a sec.-scared me & definitely did not turn me on) & only desire to be frinds w/ ones who don't giggle. Giggling girls (especially w/ high voices) are annoying ...

But the sensation issue just confuses me. I experience physical pain, disgust, & or shock/panic attacks from any form of "casual/typical" contact. This includes hugging, hand shakes, general family or friend-friend type affection etc. It can be really embarrassing b/c I can get pretty out of it/sick. But sensations that and NT would find painful (slapping my back really hard, slamming myself into things, etc.) feel good. But things like being burned usually hurt once I realize (occasional delayed reactions) I am being burned than I go numb quite quickly (though I still run burns, etc. under cold water & treat them so no marks are left/healing skin still hurts me). I sometimes do things like hitting my own back to numb myself (not often, never in public, & never enough to mark my skin for long/a day+). Do other Aspies/Auties experience any of this ?
p.s. Sorry if this sounds creepy...

hehe, you are an aspie, welcome to the club

btw, guys can undress girls with their eyes only just kidding.. hjahahaha dirty robot.

You've posted this in sex forum.. so are you saying this turns you on?

Pretty sure thats usually a sign of bi-polar. Sure as hell pretty far away from AS

Actually, it is in the Love and Dating forum - sexual discussion goes in the Adult forum.

And sensory confusion and issues are definitely common to those on the spectrum, though I would be wary of using them as diagnostic criteria. I'm not sure where one response felt that bipolar was the appropriate answer.
