aspergers and being adorable

Post Reply New Topic

My mom and my female friends frequently tell me that they think I'm cute. I don't know about you, but I think that in my case I'm called "cute" because I look and behave like someone younger than my age, so it probably triggers other women's maternal instincts.

The only person who seems to think I'm cute is my mother. That's all.

I have been measured as having 42 times the level of cuteness allowed by the FDA. Well beyond the level considered "health threatening to others".

Right now I am sequestered away from the public in an undisclosed location because I have been officially declared to have "more cuteness than the human body can withstand!"

I'm hypercute.

Still cute.

My adorableness has gotten a lot of girls to hug me, I'm cool with hot girls pressing their boobs into me. Anyway, I'm guessing it's because social awkwardness and other autistic behaviors are childish, which equals cute. Also, some common autistic facial are considered youthful or attractive, which may amplify the cuteness effect. Also, I think intelligience contrasting with the childishness makes it a positive cute thing rather than just a childish thing.

And being a brony doesn't hurt the cute image either.


I tried to get my boyfriend to explain what was so adorable the last time he called me adorable. His answer was a bit vague, but it seems that social awkwardness and being a bit uncoordinated or klutsy is adorable. No wonder the Twilight books are popular. :p

Hmm, I agree. Many people have called me cute (mostly females). In my case at least, I think it's because of shyness and childlike mannerisms. Most people think I'm younger too and they treat me as such, even if they know I'm the same age as them. I went to an all female private school for my entire schooling and most of my classmates treated me as though I was younger and needed taking care of, despite the fact they didn't know about my AS.

I get called cute when I don't get jokes or sexual inuendos. People also do that whole picking you up while hugging you thing and rest their elbows on my shoulder but I guess that's because I'm short.

Cute is as cute does.

I have the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old, a young baby face and innocent smile, so yeah

I'm sending in a vector. I hope it's contagious!! !

I call my boyfriend adorable and cute all of the time. Maybe I should curb that a bit!

I can't really tell you why he's so irresistibly cute & precious. He just is! It's the things he says, the way he blushes when I compliment him, how he always hesitates a little bit before finally reaching out to hold my hand in public... I should stop now before he reads this and smothers me to death in my sleep lol! I don't want to embarrass him.

He is not immature or helpless by any means but he can act very youthful at times and I suppose there is a bit of vulnerability about him. I sensed it from the beginning - maybe that's one reason (besides how honest & genuine he is) why I instantly felt so safe with him because in a way I'm very vulnerable, as well. I just looked into his eyes and for the first time in my life, I thought, "This person is not going to hurt me."

I was only called adorable when I was a baby and small child. Not as I got older.

Will do.


I don't think being adorable has so much with looks, as with how you act/react. If you are young and say/do something silly, it is adorable, as you get older, it is a sliding scale towards weird.

So I'm curious, does being called cute and adorable bother you?

Some of you seem okay with it, some maybe not. I notice some people saying they need to stop calling their partner cute and adorable.

Personally, I enjoy it. I honestly prefer cute and adorable over beautiful and sexy. Maybe it's just me. I also wonder if it's a gender thing. Cute is definitely more okay for women than men according to US culture right now.
