I am interested in studying the science of autistic sexuality.
Is anyone else interested in studying this science?
Sorry - this sounds like some kind of weird chat-up line! Tongue
Google autistic sexuality.
The AFF chatroom server has a room called "autistic sensuality" where I've never been allowed to go to because I'm below 18.

It's also called "the perv room".

I remember this post on NT's are Weird:

Well that was depresssing to read. Is this true :

"We are in a prime victim group - with some studies saying as much as 90% of developmentally disabled children will be sexually abused by age 18. While sadly the number of abused neurotypicals is not trivial (it’s actually quite high), this is a much higher number. If you see an autistic adult, it’s pretty much a sure thing that they faced some sort of abuse (you will rarely be wrong if you make this assumption) and that it is very likely the abuse was sexual That’s reality."

I know abuse is common among autistics but 90% ?

I find it dubious if it includes men, but I know many posting on this forum has been sexually abused.
I certainly wasn't abused.  I mean, other than the weird man who tried to slip his hand up my skirt on a bus one time, when I was a teen.  Or the husband of a relative who tried to do the same thing the next year. Or a buddy in highschool who forced himself in a physical way.  But I think those kinds of things are experienced in equal amounts by NTs.  

Maybe somebody should start a poll.
Yeah I had those issues in college as well. I had myself a stalker - that was not fun. I remember a guy in my history class asked if I would help him and he showed up to my dorm room with no book. Found out his intentions pretty fast. These are amongst a couple other things I wont get into.
