autism culture is being mistaken for being aroace because you aren't seen in relationships often but really you just struggle with being understood and people push your boundaries so intimacy is hard

I've seen someone describing (their) "autistic love" as very logic based, like 'if there are good reasons for me to love you - not as in money or material benefits - then I will be able to love you and do the best for you'. This person personally mentioned honesty, feeling cared and connecting well.

As an aromatic who's also very possibly autistic, I never felt so seen.

I don't identify as demiromantic, I never develop(ed) romantic attraction or romantic love, BUT I know I'm capable of feeling a deep (non-platonic) affection. And now I also know that it happens because of reasons, one being sex btw, without which I wouldn't experience anything. As simple as it is, it really never occurred to me.

I think that's why I never understood how people could just fall in love with someone, out of the blue, without any good reason whatsoever. And I'm not talking about love at first sight, which apparently is a real thing, I'm talking about getting random romantic crushes that may or may not develop in something else later. I'm talking about the good ol' romantic attraction™.

Yeah, no, I don't do that.

CW: sex talk under the cut

As an aroallo, I do experience sexual attraction and "sexual love", for lack of a better name. I haven't had many experiences for now, but I'm pretty sure that one of these good reasons for which I may develop (non-platonic) love, is sex. And I mean the actual act(s) of sex.

The only intimate type of love I think I'm able to experience is "lusty love", therefore without sex there can't be *any* type of love.

PS. When here I say love, I'm always referring to a type of romantic-adiacent love. Not talking about platonic love.

Btw I'm kind of sure I'm also demiplatonic

A love that is way more than platonic but still not sexual or romantic but a secret fourth thing

I have this fear I’m not capable of handling emotional and romantic intimacy. I have really great friends but adding attraction and romance to all that sounds impossible. The entire dating ‘game’ is socializing on hard mode, and thats of course assuming you even have a chance to begin with. Not to mention my just absolutely minuscule dating pool, considering I’m a lesbian and I most likely would need my partner to be ND for it to ever work. It also just sounds like such a huge amount of work and time, especially becasye it’s very likely all of that investment and emotional openness will end in heartbreak.

It makes me sad because I do really want to experience that though. I do long for romantic connection. But I’m afraid if the opportunity were to present itself- and I suppose it sort of has, a few times, although it was never with anyone I really felt interested in- I wouldn’t be able to do it.

Having autism and adhd is so annoying. I never know if i’ve fallen for someone or if the attention I'm getting is giving me a dopamine rush and the amount of time I spend with this person makes me accidentally form them into my routine. I never know if I hyperfixate on this person or if I actually like them. It's really fucking annoying

Autism/adhd culture is having the urge to bite people you love

My wife has just been showing me funny videos in bed for an hour. True love is fun.

Things I say to my loud family when I'm overstimulated:

Use your inside voices, please.

Can we make this an inner monologue?

Let's play the quiet game.

I am not a vampire, its ✨️ambient lighting✨️

Please stop talking to me.

I'm putting my headphones on.

Now is not a good time, please try again later.
