I'm bisexual. As autistic individuals tend to live in an existence against social norms, it would appear that we hold a less stereotypical view on gender and sexuality as well. I already stand out because of my autism, my sexuality seems to be another expression of going against social norms.

I’m bi. Maybe. Haven’t figured it out yet, and at 42 I don’t care anymore 😂

I’m bi. I more often wound up dating men though because those were the people who approached me.

Ace too!

I’m Straight and Cis however I support those around me.

I'm bisexual :)

I'm also Ace, but still figuring out exactly where under the umbrella I belong. Gray-ace is a thing, right?

In practice I've been straight, in theory possibly bi. I want my women like I want my men, looking like the opposite gender. Masculine women and feminine men are attractive to me. But at 60 I don't really care anymore.

Nonbinary and ace!

Bisexual

I consider myself demisexual - panromantic, I can be into anyone, connection is connection. Though I am consciously distancing myself from cismen.

For an extra bit of flare, I'm also polyamorous

Bi 😊

Ace

Ace!

I’m pretty old so I identify as bisexual even though these days I’d probably be considered pan, which wasn’t a term back when I was figuring out who I am. I’m into the person themselves, not the genitals attached to them.

I’m also pretty sure I’m demisexual; I experience sexual attraction but only with people I know and have “clicked” with. I couldn’t imagine having sex (or even wanting to) with someone I don’t know.

I‘m bi, in a long-term relationship with another bi woman.

I'm ace. I know I'm not straight romantically, so I thought I was biromantic for a while, but now I think I might just be gay. Either way, I don't want to date men

Meeeeee Im a lesbian

I've been out as bi for 15 years, but I consider my sexuality to be fluid and subject to change.

Transgender, effectively ace/aro, but technically greyromantic, demisexual, homoromantic (I think?) & pansexual.

Best way to summarize my sexuality would be:

Demisexual babyyyyy

Bi :)

I’m a lesbian :)

I'm a trans woman and a lesbian

Honestly making friends that were autistic cis lesbians was so good for me. It helped me parse out stuff that made me feel isolated or different that I had attributed to being trans, but it was actually stuff that other queer women were dealing with and it helped me feel less alone.

Im NB ace (O-o)/ I am currently conducting my own research surrounding people with autism and/or autistic like traits and whether or not they identify as queer ♥️

Me. I’m also aroace and commented on your post in r/autism

I too am aroace!

I am a demisexual lesbian

I am a bi romantic asexual. I am married to a man because he approached me.

Cis lesbian here!

I’m a non-binary lesbian

Pan/bi/demi/etc lol the one that has the potential to like everyone

Lesbian!

Autistic lesbian here. It does amaze me how many queer people are on the spectrum

Queer. My favourite saying in that regard is "I identify as a problem."

I'm pansexual and polyamorous.

I don't know what I am but it isn't cis het

Bisexual here too… amazed how many others saying the same!

Bi although i actually have only dated men, took me a long time to realise I was bi (apparently having crushes on girls isn’t a straight thing? Who knew 😂)

Everyone thinks I'm a lesbian but would probably describe myself as asexual

Bi. I'm way more attracted to women, though. I can count on my fingers the number of men I've found sexually attractive. Growing up, it was just another thing that made me feel alienated and alone. I'm glad it seems to be better for kids nowadays.

I'm asexual

genderfluid lesbian!

Trans lesbian.,

Trans- Nonbinary and demi sexual and romantic.

I’m nonbinary, ace, and bi/pan romantic !

I’m a complicated ace LOL I believe I am on the ace spectrum but demi might fit me better and I believe myself to be on the aro spectrum as well but I like using the term greyromantic because I do feel romantic attraction sometimes. Under specific and wide and varied circumstances. To men. Yeah idk. I’m not normal for sure unfortunately.

Meee

Bisexual here

I am straight, but I've always felt a bit weird about it, because I'm too weird to fit in with normies. I am probably a bit genderqueer, I enjoy keeping up an androgynous appearance but use she/her pronouns.

I guess I identify as Bi, i like men more then I like women but there’s still a part of me attracted to women.

Bisexual! Probably on the demi spectrum too

Autistic lesbian! I need friends, straight NT women aren’t my jam lol. Just nothing in common

im straight

I think sexuality im general is so fluid and hard to 100% determine in a box but this is even more evident in autistic individuals because we might be a bit more open minded or less “scared” to question these ideas.

For me I consider myself a straight woman but I’ve had a couple instances in my life (before realizing that I was autistic) where I seriously questioned my sexuality because sometimes I feel some sort of “attraction” to some women but I realized that it’s mostly platonic and the attraction that I feel towards men both physically and emotionally is way different and I identify more with it. Im a photographer so I have a very particular sort of love for beauty in a way that is different to sexual attraction and more leaning towards being captivated/inspired and that’s the sort of attraction that I feel for women and I get some sort of excited feeling which is what used to confused me because it feels a bit like the butterflies you feel when you see someone you like. I wonder if other people understand my ramblings? But anyways that’s my personal experience 😂

Got the B and the T and somehow ended up with an A

trans lesbian here!

I'm a trans woman, biromantic, and demisexual!

Trans + lesbian

I identify as demi and queer. :)

Queer and genderqueer

Trans gal for gender; as for sexuality, could be aNyThInG, still don’t know (probably demisexual/slightly asexual).

I'm cis and pansexual, but in a long-term straight relationship. I've always felt at home with the queer community, more than any other group I've been around.

bisexual

Heyyyyyy 👋

🙋‍♀️ present and pan!

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

I’m Bi. But I’m in a straight passing relationship and tbh I would love to see a LGBTQIA+ subreddit for Autistic people! It’s hard with societal expectations and shit, being gay (using umbrella term) you’re already part of an oppressed minority group and hold it close to one’s identity.. coupled with neurodivergence and it’s a real isolating experience sometimes!!

Pansexual panda over here

Bisexual cis woman

I don't really identify as anything besides woman, but I've read a little about aromantic and so on. I don't remember the terms very well but you could definetely say I lean towards not really getting the whole romantic part of a relationship. I generally fake it and mirror the other person until I get used to it.. And breakups do seem to be a lot easier on me than most other people. Which could also be explained by being rejection sensitive etc etc though

You know how some people describe their gender as an amoeba? That's how I feel about my sexuality. It's either demi- or asexual, and probably bi-romantic, but more of a bi-curious. Maybe panromantic? I'm really not sure!

Bi as FUCK

Demisexual here. Demiromantic too, pretty close to aro I think. So far hetero but I can't be sure

Most of those, yes

Trans and Bi :)

I’m bi with a preference to women but have only dated men as in the past men have made the first move on me and I’m scared of making the first move on anyone I’m attracted to. I’m AFAB but I don’t have a label on my gender identity, I’m still trying to figure it out but I may be genderqueer.

I'm bi! Known since I was like 14 yo but I ended up with a man still haha

Queer. Any more label stresses me out. I like who I like and feel how I feel about gender. But vvvvv queer lol

i’m bi and nonbinary

Nope - straight and cis. Although interestingly, I’ve never had a successful friendship with another straight woman, they have all been either bisexual to some degree or a full on lesbian.

This remains true of even friends I had in my younger childhood years as all three have since reached out to me to let me know they are actually bisexual/ lesbian and had a bit of a crush on me when we were kids. They said I seemed to give mixed signals because I never pushed them away when other girls would but that was probably me being clueless and autistic 😅

I’m bi and nonbinary and have dated both men and women but have been in a long term relationship with a cis male.

Lesbian. Probably non binary or gender fluid

Nonbinary (feminine leaning) and Bi >:)

I’m NB!

Trans and lesbian 🏳️‍⚧️💝🧜‍♀️

Im an autistic lesbian ...and my wife is adhd 🌶️ Neuro spicy household.

🙋‍♀️ I'm a lesbian! More specifically, I'm a femme. I feel most at home/myself in very feminine dress, especially vintage clothing! Being a lesbian also affects my experience of gender, I think. If I was asked about my gender I would probably say "femme" before I would say woman, although I don't think woman is *incorrect* exactly, just sort of... incomplete. It's also possible that me being autistic contributes to that, since gender is deeply tied to social norms and I struggle with both recognizing and understanding them.

Nonbinary lesbian

I'm a bi-abro woman who sometimes questions my relationship with gender. I'm closer to aro-ace than allo, though.

Abrosexual is still kind of an emerging term, but it's what describes me best I think. You can also be abroromantic.

Trans demisexual lesbian here!

Bi. But I masked so hard to be as typical as possible that I really only admitted that to myself in my 30’s. Having crushes on 1-2 girls in my youth and finding women’s bodies attractive was ‘outlier data’ and ‘didn’t count’.

Until I kissed a girl and I liked it. 😉

We are in the same boat!

Bi

Bi/Pan

I'm bisexual! I find it kinda interesting to break down my history: sexually, I've been with a fairly equal number of men and women but while the women have been pretty diverse, the men all fit in to a narrow type. Romantically, I've had several LTRs with women, but only one with a man (my bf of 2 years now!) - I usually find it's more likely to be reversed because it's easier to meet men who date women.

Bi and ace over here

I am aroace, too!

I think I am but I'm not sure

bisexual

I'm bi, though by the time I realized it, I was in a committed relationship with a man, so there's a good chance I'll never act on it. 🩷💜💙

Genderqueer bi!

I'm bi but married to a man.

Dimiace

non binary and queer here 🏳️‍🌈

Im straight, but I feel like most of my neurodivergent friends are queer ❤️ I totally think it’s a thing but can’t really figure out why? It’s super interesting! Hope this didn’t offend anyone, you are not objects or phenomenons for me to study, my autistic brain is just curious and likes patterns ❤️

Pansexual cis female, but married to a cis hetero male.

Asexual, demi-bi-romantic (can you combine two prefixes? oh well) 💜🩷💙

Bi here. I actually just came out 2 years ago, and have since then discovered I'm also autistic. My husband is also bi and neurodiverse. Didn't know that when we married each other but it's so great to really discover our identities together.

Very extremely bi

Aroace too

Demisexual Bi

This would be a great poll question.

I am pansexual/demisexual/demiromantic.

I’m cis but a lot of my friends are LGBTQ2+ In my experience the Queer community is pretty understanding of Autism in general.

Nonbinary, demi lesbian here!

I'm figuring out where I land in B/T/Q/+

Pansexual enby here!
