Guest Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Aro + Autism Hello again guys i'm doing other topic of interseccionality this time is with the aromantic spectrum the autism and the aromanticism are relationed? There are aromantics people that maybe are autistic the arromanticism is a condition to equal that the autism but the relation that has is possible that are connected there is a conexion between autism and aromanticism we know that the aromanticism is characterized per lack of romantic atraction to others people while the autism is a neurologic condition where the person creates his own world and does not relation with the exterior sometimes the aromantics people that are down of the authisc spectrum would have a relationship the aromanticism and the autism can or can't be connected in my case i do not have scientifists evidence of this but is possible find Aro people identified as autistic i do not what is the percent of this aro + autism the relation of these 2 conditions possible that is connected the autistic people does not can or feel not love of romantic form does not experience those feeling of love because in their world and that condition but not alls the autistic people is aromantic and not alls the aromantics are autistic but i'm giving opinion of this is possible have a result okey good someone more that in the spectrum of aromanticism and autism?

Ekaterina Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'm both aro and very likely autistic (or really similar to that at least), so looks like I'm an example. I heard several times that a correlation actually is a thing here, to the point that I once saw in the Internet an autism test that included aro and ace-themed questions that contributed to the probability of the person being autistic. (I have no idea on how professional was that test, so not sure how much does it mean) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoph Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'm both aromantic and autistic. I don't feel like there was some link between them. Especially because there are neurotypical queer people and neurodivergent cishets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Diagnosed autistic. I don't feel they are connected, but they do say that we are way way more likely to identify as non-cishet.... I think it's simply because we don't fit in anyways. So we deal with less compulsive heterosexuality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I am diagnosed autistic. I am lith/aromantic. Honestly, I am not sure if it is connected to having autism. Kind of doubt it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Great, I’m not alone! (Yes, I was diagnosed as a toddler.) And yes, I also think aroness isn’t caused by autism, because there are plenty of other autistics who aren’t aro. But, I do think as autistics, tending to misinterpret subtleties, can confuse us on whether we’re feeling a crush or a squish if the allonormative+neurotypical world would interpret certain actions mean we are interested in someone romantically, when what we really meant is totally platonic, for example. The misunderstandings just because the allonormative+NT society dictated definitions of every combination of actions and behaviors imaginable. Like wanting to have a nice candlelit dinner, dinner and a movie, etc, doesn’t need the presence of a romantic partner, it can be done as a solitary self-care activity or done with family or/and friends.
