Autism and Sex: Myths, Consent, and Neurodivergent Intimacy

🔥 In this episode:

• Debunking myths about autistic sex and asexuality
• The pressure to perform and masking in intimate settings
• Why sensory awareness matters in sexual well-being
• The importance of consent and boundaries
• A call to action for providers and community advocates

Whether you're neurodivergent, a healthcare professional, or just ready to listen—this conversation is essential.
