I asked him if he’s gonna be sleeping with anyone else and he said no but that he’s still kinda talking to another girl but not as much anymore. I think we’re a good match and I want to see where this goes but I’m just worried abt the other girl

“Hooking up” and “autism” in the same sentence is ridiculous

You’re saying autistic people can’t hook up?

The person has multiple partners, high level of communication skill, and comfortable with strangers and physical touch, that last thing is the least autistic thing ever

No autistic person wants or desires to be touched by complete strangers lmfao

And so are people who self diagnose but that doesn’t stop them from claiming to be autistic and skewing what the general population actually perceives autism as and causes more misunderstanding than my generalized statement here

‘High functioning’ doesn’t mean someone just isn’t autistic. Your own experience may be hating touch from strangers, but there’s plenty of reasons someone could handle or want that while still being autistic

Literally. And he isn’t hooking up with multiple people like 1 was saying, I just didn’t know how to phrase it. And some autistic people like a lot of physical touch too. He is very touchy and likes to be touching constantly but idk how is with other people touching him

i have diagnosed autism (since age 12) and have many years of experience in special ed. and yet i am still a massive slut, i sleep with strangers often and i like it. your attempts at minimizing ASD into a neat box is ridiculous and makes you look dumb, honestly

Special ed doesn’t mean dumb. It gives people extra accommodations that normal classes don’t have but it doesn’t make someone dumb at all it just caters to their learning style. The only dumb person here is you
