| It took me a long time to achieve an understanding of my autism because for the majority of my life autism was used to describe people with really obvious and serious social impediments. Once the spectrum term came onto use and it became clear that autism covered a multitude of conditions I found it... |

| Almost all forums that I have ever signed up to have a facility to delete your account and also your contributions to discussions. How can you do this on WP? Simply saying that you can't would probably make the site illegal in UK/England/Britain where we have some new laws about data retention and p... |

| My wife, who is going through the menopause, is no longer able to have sex. She has refused to try HRT or any of the localised hormone treatments which would make her able to continue to have sex. She is NT, I am on the spectrum, which causes some tensions between us anyway. I don’t find non-penetra... |

| I was 20 before I lost my virginity but made up for it over the next 8 years. I think that you have to decide whether to take the opportunity when it comes along or to wait for someone to whom you really relate. They've now coined the term demisexual for people who do that. It probably boils down to... |

| I tried to send a PM which sat in my outbox for 24 hours without going into the sent messages box. It did relate to the Adult discussion Forum so are such PMs moderated before sending? Has the recipient blocked incoming PMs (can you do that?) or is there a glitch? Are there rules about using euphemi... |

| Has he always initiated sex in the past? If so he might have been surprised at being the "recipient" rather than the "initiator". Otherwise, I would guess, as a male, that he was delighted to get to climax without having to make much of an effort. The only concern would be to wh... |

| Have you tried a male masturbator aka a guybrator? Sometimes the physical stimulation can overcome the mental lack of engagement. They are available online for about $100 or equivalent. |

| If you really don't want to have kids consider getting sterilised. It frees up your sex life no end. If you don't want to have kids and your husband does then you have a real problem. You need to find out whether he doesn't want to have sex because of fear of you getting pregnant or because he has l... |

| I am officially a senior citizen but I feel like I'm 8 inside. This has caused a lot of problems in the past before I realised what was going on (ie when I self diagnosed). I could never believe that people wanted me to take the lead at school or in jobs and I was way behind when it came to dating. ... |

I see no point in discussing this with the medical profession but it has given me an explanation for all of the things that I thought were odd about me and about others over the years. It has also given me a frame ... |
