O curvă Ghidul Pentru A Podcast Fericirea - episodul 16: pervers și relații pe spectrul autismului - cu Steph Takaya

n mainstream media, autism is often depicted as a deterrent to successful romantic or relationships. Steph presents an alternate perspective: autism is a different way of thinking and being that can be harnessed as interpersonal superpowers. For example, autistic people are often highly empathetic, have a strong moral compass and are more comfortable with direct communication. Autism can also be with different sensory and desires. Embracing, rather than trying to “fix” these differences allows for a world of exciting freedom and possibility. Both academic research and Steph's personal and community experience suggest that forms of non-traditional ity, including , polyamory and queerness, are more prevalent among autistic people than the general public. Steph describes how allowed them to reconnect with their ity as they discovered the importance of novelty and sensation for the way they think and experience the world.
