WELCOME TO THE SECOND SEASON OF BRAIN TRASH!

Autism and Sex: Myths, Consent, and Neurodivergent Intimacy

This episode of Brain Trash takes a bold step into a rarely discussed space: the intersection of autism and sex. Hosts Maria Ingalla and Tabitha explore the myths, misunderstandings, and unique challenges autistic people face in navigating intimacy, consent, and sensory overwhelm.

đŸ”„ 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.
