  • Ace people are queer too :)

    And really, some of us have 0 interest in sex please stop asking us. Believe it or not, romance isn’t sexual in and of itself, so it’s not impossible for us to crave romance and have no desire for sex.

    And, many of us are this way without ever having experienced trauma. It’s necessary to ask someone about trauma in a relationship, but don’t assume it’s the reason for the lack of sexual interest. (In many cases it is a or the reason, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that a person doesn’t want to engage in sex)

    I had to take prednisone for twelve days. On the first day I took it with my Vyvanse and ended up struggling with really bad anxiety all day. I barely felt like I could breathe. So I spent the rest of the days off my Vyvanse and now I’m terribly far behind on everything xD

    The weirdest thing happened when I was recovering from covid. I couldn’t really taste much, but cilantro suddenly had a perfume-like scent. It eventually went back to normal after I recovered, but I definitely have a healthy level of sympathy for people who taste soapy cilantro now


  • I guess my confusion with that lies with an additional diagnosis I have: AvPD. Treatment for the pd has been hugely beneficial for me, where I don’t think treating social issues in autism can/should be beneficial or necessary. I’m not disagreeing with your take, I think similar brain structures can have similar symptoms. I just would hate to put anyone with autism through the therapy I have solely because it helped me navigate the world better.

    If I had been diagnosed with autism, I would never gone through this treatment. I guess, as my therapist puts it “we don’t want to change autism” where the world does want to change personality disorders
