Wednesday, July 6, 2011  Autism and Orgasm  Lindsey Nebeker  One
of my blog readers who is on the autism spectrum brought up a
concern regarding recent  bedroom issues. This person is finding
that the process of achieving orgasm has become increasingly
difficult: "[Since learning more about my ASD diagnosis] I've
been noticing a growing awareness in what is going on around me
and what my body is feeling ... and it is becoming sort of
distracting during sex, mainly orgasm. As I began to feel my
self start to climax I suddenly became very focused on the
noises and things in the room such as the fan running, and how
the moving air felt on my skin. Then I suddenly became
overwhelmed with my body itself, to the point that it took away
the orgasm. I focused intensely on how the sheets felt against
my skin, how my partner’s skin felt on mine, how my hands felt
running through [my partner’s] hair, then the ever knowing
coldness I get through my body in that passionate moment. I kept
thinking ... what is wrong with me
