Who do you like?

Someone recently asked me if my asexuality is due to my being autistic, and I said no, it isn't, because plenty of autistics are straight, bi, or gay. But now I'm curious and I'd like to take a poll: Are autistics less likely to be straight and cis than NTs?

Oh yeah, and remember this is the General forum. No explicit stuff please!

And if it matters, let's define "gender" as whatever gender you are, rather than whatever got put on your birth certificate.

I'm as straight as they come. I'm a girl.

I'd say I'm pansexual. I tend towards being attracted to women, but either gender end or anything in between can be attractive. It doesn't even have to be a feminine looking person, just a good looking one.

But I'm from the depths of the internet. They say that spending time in the depths like I have draws everyone eventually into full pansexuality.

I'm almost entirely straight. That said, if I really fancied a man I wouldn't be completely against seeing where it went. I might have reservations, though.

I voted "more than one". I am female, and I feel sometimes straight and sometimes asexual.

entirely straight

LOL, I totally get that. Before the Internet I just figured "meh, I don't wanna get married," but then I realized that there were these people called "asexual" and that it was possible to have a loving relationship with somebody who also didn't want sex; and I realized I didn't care which gender that person was or even whether they had one at all. I still haven't started dating, because I don't think I'm mature enough, but now that I know the possibility exists, it's kind of interesting to consider. I guess when I'm older and better at taking care of myself, I'd want to marry somebody who was also asexual, and have separate bedrooms, and take in foster kids together. I like kids, and if anybody needs a good place to stay for however long, it's a kid in the foster system.

Who do I like? My boyfriend of course!

I'm gay, and I've described myself as "borderline asexual" before. I'm much more affectionate than horny. Nine times out of ten, I would rather lay on my couch watching TV, using a guy as a pillow, my face buried in his neck or chest, than have sex. If I were in a relationship and only had sex once a month, that would be fine with me.

I'm solidly in "other/more than one of the above". I identify as polyamorous demisexual. Until I was in a relationship everyone viewed me as asexual and until I found demisexual I would actively have refused to answer most polls like this because of never having found a word that describes me at all (and if forced, I'd put questioning).

-I only can feel romantic or sexual interest in people if I already have a very strong emotional connection with them.
-Physical attraction is innately tied to mental attraction. I cannot look at someone and say "that person is attractive", other than if I happen to be interested in someone (rare, but possible), then I would have the reaction "the way this person looks is being themselves and that is attractive".
-The concept of gender makes no sense to me.
-I have only been interested in males, but have had it shown to me that I could be interested in a female via a complicated situation.
-I am incredibly picky on top of the requirement to be emotionally close to people and such, so people would likely never notice, but I also associate with the orientation associated with polyamory.

I voted that my gender is non-binary, but I really should have selected "more than one" as I am also asexual.

I do have romantic attractions, although I am not sure how much I want a relationship with anyone.

Bi/pan, Im mostly straight but I have no qualms with a cute guy/shemale/etc. Not to mention Im fairly feminine myself.

anyone.. im not picky..

I have only found five males attractive, and I have found vastly more females attractive. I don't identify as male or female, so I chose the non-binary option, though I could have also gone with the Other one.

That being said, I am willing to date and/or have sex with someone who I do not find attractive, and just because I find someone attractive doesn't mean I want to date/have sex with that person. Also, I would be fine with being in a romantic relationship with someone who doesn't want to have sex with me.

I would rather have a sexual relationship than a romantic one.

Romance is a nightmare that seems attractive on the surface, but invariably breaks down into pain and suffering.

I picked asexual because I prefer platonic relationships over sexual ones.
