The Impact of Autism on Sex & Relationships

Last year I made a video about how ADHD impacts sex, dating and relationships, and there were a lot of requests for me to make a similar video focusing on autism, so here we are!💛 Like with ADHD, the impact of autism on sex & relationship is a massive topic and because I’m going to try and give as broad an overview as possible then I’m not going to be able to cover every single nuance. Let me know if any of this resonated with you and please feel free to share your own experiences in the comments if you’d like!
