what is your sexuality

just wanted to know how true the belief that most autistic people aren't straight was

It takes a long time, mostly because a lot of time and experimentation is required.

I didn't even think about sexuality until I was about 15, when I suddenly realized I wasn't even thinking about sexuality and attempted to find out why. I realized I was entirely attracted to guys and was ready to label myself gay until I met a girl who I had a huge romantic crush on; after that, thinking maybe I was straight or bi, I decided to accept some girls' advances, and though I enjoyed their intimate company and sensuality of their touch, I couldn't get into them sexually. I figured I needed to meet "the one" and spent several years alone until I started a relationship with a girl I became romantically attracted to, but after several months learned I still wasn't sexually into her (or any other women since).

Hence how I came to my current label, and that's still without having any relationships with guys or non-binaries. I at least know I can form romantic relationships with anyone and am perfectly happy in asexual relationships, so "panromantic" is pretty concrete, but it'll take some time figuring out the remaining "-sexual" suffix. It's kind of exciting, like solving a jigsaw puzzle!



I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that, but I know people who identify as non-binary or genderqueer and I'm perfectly okay with that. If someone can identify as the opposite gender, then I see no reason why they can't identify with no gender.

Interesting that there are two "asexual" options.
Also trans vs cis is orthoganal to gender orientation. (There are hetero, homo, bi, pan and asexual trans people.)
