I want a guy with whom I could watch American Horror Story, have great sex, go to lunch the next morning, and repeat the cycle (maybe unrealistic in this world). I never try to pressure them into doing things they don’t want to do.

Also, I’ve always been a career-oriented person, so the thought of being in a relationship seems like a waste of time. Love can be described more than just through romance. Friendships intrigued me more than a partnership. I’ve gotten better at letting my guard down to let people in, and I’ve had my heart broken, but I’ve also found healing in it. Growing up on the spectrum, friendships are something that I’ve struggled in maintaining. I would identify myself as aromantic, which is lacking romantic attraction. It’s a way to express my sexuality with people. Despite old cliches spouted about autistics and sex, I enjoy sex. As a gay man, I do not identify this way. The one thing that separates autistics from neurotypicals is many autistic people identify as asexual, which means they experience little to no sexual attraction (also a spectrum of experiences).

When it comes to love, autistic people love just as neurotypicals do. Many of us, including myself, are probably the most empathetic, non-judgmental people you will ever meet, but that’s another discussion. The common misconception about autistic people is we don’t feel emotions, which is total bullshit. Life is a spectrum (I wish more people understood that). Sometimes this is interpreted by some as internalized homophobia and ableism when I don’t relate to aspects of being autistic. My goal has never been to reject any part of my identity, but pick aspects that are genuine to me. I enjoy gay culture, but my autism leads me to believe I have to indulge in it in order to fit it. Majority of the time, this feels insincere with who I am. I’ve shouted my fair share of phrases, like “yes queen” and “you better work” at my colleagues almost instinctively. I catch myself letting gay culture references and stereotypes inspire me for my interactions with gay men. In a world where parents have put their autistic kids in institutions, we have no choice but to live this way.

A coping mechanism that gives us some sort of guidance on how to navigate through this crazy, sensory overload filled world we live in.

We do this through “masking,” which means we camouflage into neurotypicals based on social cues we pick up from witnessing behavior. Some autistic people, such as myself, pass off as neurotypicals.
