]]> Comment on Our Voices: What Are the Greatest Myths of Autism and Sexuality? by Lyn http://nakedbrainink.com/3102/voices-greatest-myths-autism-sexuality/#comment-55 Lyn Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:47:44 +0000 http://nakedbrainink.com/?p=3102#comment-55 I think the greatest myth is that we'd WANT to manage our sexuality like the NT's do. Frankly, NT's who've been married as long as I have don't usually look like they're having much fun. My husband and I tried it their way for a while, but we're far happier since we decided to do things our own way. Our sex life is great, and it's funny to think that people might pity him! (I asked him about that; he said maybe it's because we don't get as much sleep.) The greatest myth is that autistics' sex life is impaired just like our ability to go clubbing; the truth is that there's no correlation between the two at all.

That's the absolute worst part. Like I want to talk about my school or my job or my last fucking vacation while you're sticking things up me. Small talk is bad enough in everyday life but at the dentist, or getting your blood drawn or getting a pelvic exam is the absolute worst time! I'm trying to go off in my own little world and you keep dragging me back here to tell you about any movies I've seem lately? But typically I feel to vulnerable to say "I don't like small talk" while she's doing it, and I always forget before hand. God, the small talk. That’s the absolute worst part.

I have bookmarked this post to show to my doctor when this happens. The only comment I have is in regard to the weighted blankets - I have an aversion to specifically weighted accessories due to a negative experience with weighted vests during childhood OT sessions, and would prefer simply having a heavy quilt around, or bringing my own sweatshirt like I do to movie theaters, on the rare occasion I go.

At the point of climax and for a short time afterwards I laugh involuntarily. It's not hysterical, but it is unstoppable. Do others experience this?
