#autistic ace problems

Say it with me now

DIAGNOSIS IS A PRIVILEGE

[thearoacefromspace]

Idk if this is an aroace problem or a neurodivergent problem but whenever people ask me for my number part of me is just like “maybe they just want to be friends” 😭

[officeobject]

I know this isn't exclusive to being aro and/or ace (as modeled by this bisexual agreeing/relating), but I don't know what else to tag, and it's probably more common with aro and/or ace people (same goes for autism).

Again and again I have to hear the argument that "asexuals are actually not oppressed because in fact virginity and abstinence is expected" but these people seem to be forgetting that not everyone lives in a puritanical or at least puritan-shaped society.

I had close, good friends remark about another friend that she was abnormal for finding some guys cute but never approaching them or seeking a relationship when we were only 18.

When I was 19 I had to see a doctor and when I told her that I never had sex she reacted with "Really ? How ?! Did you never get the urge or just want to try it out ?!"

I was asked how one could get me, an autistic person, to develop a special interest in sex so I'd want to do it all the time and try out various positions/kinks/etc.

During my internship I managed to secure a position as an assistant and everyone openly assumed that I had slept with my boss. I was 19.

Personally, I'm not sex-negative but sex-repulsed. Non-graphic sex scenes or snippets alluding to sex (i.e. hands grabbing sheets) are not only part of the normal tv program but ads. I'll see sex scenes during day time for sex toys, condoms, health apps - even fucking bottled water. On channels with kids-friendly programs.

During high school I refused a date AND just sex with a friend. He didn't understand when I said "it's not you, I just generally don't", so he came back and told me in detail how he'd rape and murder me and more.

In my 20s I lived in shared housing. Several people could not accept that I wasn't interested in sleeping around. One was actually yelling at me in public that I should sleep with him because "it was obvious I wanted to". But clearly that's homophobia ? We actually had gay and lesbian housemates, they were fully accepted.

Another public scene. A guy yelled at me from a distance in the pedestrian zone how I had nice legs and he wanted to perform oral sex on me. I was mortified. My mother found it "funny and quite charming"...

When I was 16 and had no interest in dating or sex my best friend told me "when you eventually have sex you'll have to grid your teeth and act like you feel no pain and are experienced. No one wants to have sex with an 18+ virgin. Also if you're over 18 you can't expect a guy to go slow during your first time, you're too old."

And while I love the diversity in aspec-spaces, it can get annoying to hear "just because you're ace doesn't mean you can't have sex, right ? You do engage in sex, right ?!", because people read about sex-positive asexuality and jumped on it right away.

[trees-to-meet-you]

Got to the end of TMA 106 y’all were right these girls were literally just calling out Martin for being a petty gay bitch

[thatautisticlesbian]

me I wonder why my blog is so small

Me at 3 am reblogging 57 posts

[nyaacatboy]

hey aros/aces of tumblr has anyone else figured out to express the sentiment "I hate it when people complain about being single to me" to allos without them launching into the perfectly valid ways in which they are unhappy with their singleness or conflating "complain about being single" with "talking about dating or being attracted to anyone."

[greetings-inferiors]

Just heard that apparently asexual/aromantic people have a stereotype of being cold or heartless which is so baffling to me as for almost every single aspec person I’ve ever interacted with the first word I’d use to describe them (me included) is “goofy”

[sprnklersplashes]

“you can’t headcanon that autistic coded character as aro/ace” you fool. you absolute heathen. I am the autistic coded aroace.

[lillianforest22]

Gillion makes such a good character to project on if you

Have religious trauma

Aspec or arospec

Autistic

He come from an entire differnt cukture but is still expected to act a certain way. His view of the world is built on how he was raised by the elders and as he explore above the sea he deconstructs all the lies and pain inflicted upon him in the name of religion. He also never had a chance to explor romance or sexuality while training. Above sea it’s a hole new expirence. So things tj him are new. Like what you mean kissing is seen as romantic.

Gillion is just the perfect chaeacte for me and I love him

today on Zero Entertains More Headcanons With No Canon Support: what if Face was asexual. compulsory allosexuality is a thing. what if Face was always kinda just ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ about sex but wanted so badly to be that Suave, Impressive Ladies’ Man because he cares about his image. what if Face never really enjoyed making out (or going further) with women (or men) because he’s ace but like everything else in life he’s conning his way through it. what if he was actually kinda sex repulsed because hehe eyy what up Autistic!Face Headcanon how’s it goin’ we haven’t talked in a while,, the sensations are all wrong and skin on skin feels Weird and tongues on tongues feel Weird but Face has a Job to do and that Job is Be A Very Convincingly Straight and Successful Man So You Can Feel Loved and Admired,, but inside he’s just like. god when will this be over.

bUT he’s got Big Big Feelings (that he tries to cover up, but he was very clearly Invested in that girl he dated in college who became a nun) and he wants Romance and Connection and ~Love~ but he doesn’t think he can have that without Sex so he just. grins and bares it.

i've never been able to figure this one out, either... most other "sexual" body parts have a biological, nuerochemical, or psychological explanation, as do most fetishes/kinks... but the ass? There are no particularly sensitive nerve endings that would cause an associative emotional response, nor are there any specific neurological phenomenons that would immediately tie the ass to sexual pleasure/preference. Maybe it's simply the proximity to other sexual organs? Maybe it is simply its resemblance of the pectorals/breasts? Whatever the case may be, (most likely it is a combination of the two aforementioned, but I find it highly unlikely that mere association could produce such a large response in such a consistent way across humanities cultures) I'm sure It's a perfectly reasonable thing to be attracted to, although these days I find myself being less and less accurate with what those around me consider attractive, I need to revamp my skills in recognizing human beauty, i'm afraid my model of it is a little outdated and does not take into account an individuals childhood influences enough... I'm also aware that I have a tendency to oversimplify physical responses to emotional stimulae, so if you have any other ideas or genuine, actual research, please, please let me know of it!

why do people think butts are attractive

it's literally just skin i-

hi all! this is wendy @musashi. my tumblr blog was wrongfully terminated, i presume because i recently made a popular post that vaguely mentioned loving trans women and got sacked by the t/e//r////f mob's mass reporting campaign.

the official reason tumblr banned me was for "hoarding urls" which i very much did not do. i just had a lot of sideblogs, almost all of them active at some point or another. now no one can use those URLs because they are tied to a terminated account. if tumblr needed me to release some of the less active ones, i gladly would've.

it appears as though i was mass reported and tumblr just tried to find a reason to nix me because the ter//ve///s were clogging their pipes and i'm the easier answer to the trolley problem at their HQ.

many of these sideblogs are now gone, and i will be working to get them back up in time if i cannot get my account back.

i am putting on a brave face but i am fucking heartbroken. 14 years of my life were on that blog. that is literally half of my life on earth. countless pieces of art, memories, and snapshots of my adolescence and young adulthood just, like, gone. when i suffered from severe traumatic amnesia in 2016, it was that tumblr blog that helped me recall a TON of my life experiences & who i was. that blog literally saved my life.

with it i lose countless memories and almost 10k followers, as well as a community that i spent a very long time building up. tons of friends whos usernames i did not get, and anons who were never able to give them to me.

please share my story! my name is wendy. my old url was musashi. i liked ace attorney. i liked pokemon. i made youtube videos where i talked autistically about my faves. i liked to write, and make people laugh. i loved it here and i am sad tumblr has chosen to side with the mob instead of listening to that story. i have been here since 2010, and my blog and community meant so much to me.

please reblog this post. i am working hard to get my account back, but if i cannot, i want to find my friends and followers again.

I LOVED the stim headcanons sm! it scratched my autistic brain in a good way :333

I was wondering if you could possibly do headcanons with the rest of Diasomnia, Pomefiore, and Heartslabyul with the same premise (the stimming thing)? I can see Trey being very accommodating for the reader :3

Thank you! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

hi anon I was in therapy yesterday for the first time in a while and when I got out I realized I had been stimming the ENTIRE time

dorm leaders + jamil

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ reader who stims!

type of post: headcanons characters: ace, deuce, trey, cater, epel, rook, sebek, silver, lilia additional info: romantic or platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu

now, I don't think Ace makes fun of it, but he definitely...

"you're doing that thing again,"

listen, it's not that it bothers him, or distracts him. it's not even weird!

he just... finds you really... interesting?

will say you're an "interesting critter fr bro" and leave it

Deuce is the complete opposite

he will never ever say anything about your stims

won't even ask

he just really doesn't want to be rude. he's not that guy anymore!

(you don't know how to tell him that he stims without realizing it)

he's like your knight in shining armor... kind of

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

guys I hate to say it but Cater has 100% armchair diagnosed most of the people he knows

and like... he's right... but come on!

at least he usually keeps it to himself. so when he picks up on your stimming he just... doesn't say anything

it's just another nice little tidbit of information on you :) of which he has many

for normal reasons

of course

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

now, Trey is a sweetie, as always

but he's also a liar

he is not, in fact, "this nice to everyone"

he actually does the bare minimum he needs to do to get by

the guy is spoiling you

making sure you're fed and warm and comfortable the moment you step over the threshold

stimming is no problem

if you like the feeling of dough, or the sound of eggs cracking, he'll have you in the kitchen with him :)

he rather likes you, and your stims

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

I know Rook's autistic self isn't about to say anything

but, really, he already stims. subtly, but constantly

and seeing you mirror his own behaviors...

he is smitten

as if he couldn't grow any fonder of you...

now, unless it becomes upsetting or harmful, he sees no reason to stop you. he rather likes watching your every little move

and Epel is a loyal little thing

once you're his, that's it, it's over, you could literally kill someone and he'd show up with bleach and a mop like "where's the body"

so, yeah

some humming or tapping or clicking isn't going to bother him

honestly half the time he doesn't even notice

bro is too busy fighting his sensory issues with his uniform

(the sensory issues are winning)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Sebek scolds you for distracting him

he can already hardly think straight when his eyes are always drawn to you!!! >:(

now you're moving, too?!

he can't help but stare, which just upsets him more

it's not until Lilia takes your side that he calms down

the aforementioned having his own... quirks

(and much louder ones, too)

this is all background noise for Silver

is he just used to it? is he currently half-asleep and wouldn't notice if a bomb went off behind him?

who's to say!

he's passing out on your shoulder while you repeat the same word over and over either way
