This might be a weird question but do autistic girlies feel attraction (looks wise) differently from neurotypicals or is that just me?

Anonymous 1d

Thanks everyone for the replies! I really appreciate the help. I think I’ve realised I’m just a lesbian though lol😂

tbh i feel that im neutral abt faces but positive or negative emotions can make ppl look really good just awful idk

Not 100% but autistic people are more likely to be on the LGBTQ spectrum, so you could be experiencing some form of asexuality.

I honestly don’t know because i don’t fully understand how non autistics experience attraction

i really don’t find anyone attractive physically. i have to know you know you before i become attracted to you, and it doesn’t matter what your face looks like. it’s weird

Can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean?

Idk I just feel I never look at someone I think they’re attractive. sometimes I’ll look at celebs and think they’re attractive but then I could look at the same celebs the next day and just not think anything even if they’re really pretty. Idk if that makes sense. I don’t really know how to explain it

Yeah I feel similarly. Like I find human faces very weird and uncanny. At the same time I think I have the same preferences as neurotypicals. Just that I have to make sure I don’t deep focus on the person.

But how do you experience it?

It’s generally about someone’s demeanor, style, and the kinds of conversations we have. It’s also about how patient and willing to learn how to understand me they are. Physical attractiveness is more of a plus.

I had the same realization about a year ago lmao, it took until i was 17 to realize im a lesbian bc I just thought people were just attracted to men in a different way than i could experience. I also believed at one point that people were just lying/joking about having physical attraction to men 💀

Oh wait I forgot I also usually only have like real feelings for people after they express feelings for me, like I can find someone objectively attractive but won’t even like consider being attracted as an option until they bring it up first? Usually someone will either ask me out and I’ll use that dating period/talking stage to figure out how I feel or someone will admit feelings and I’ll be like “uhhh lemme simmer and get back to you”
