Kat Stork-Brett - Sex, sexuality, and gender identity in Autism Spectrum Disorder

There are many unanswered questions about Aspergian sexuality. Do we prefer relationships with fellow Aspies? Do sensory issues affect our sex lives? Do “feet” really turn us on? Kat is doing a PhD investigating sex, sexuality, and gender identity in ASD. She presents the preliminary results of her first study, in which she addresses these, and other, questions.
