Hey, there! I'm on the spectrum (Aspergers), so take this as face value.. I've been in a relationship for almost one year now (my first serious one). I'm exceptionally independent and spend a lot of time to myself coding and working on projects. My sex life is... different, I think. I'm bisexual and so is my girlfriend. I think my sex drive is much lower than most people. I crave it occasionally (maybe, seriously, like once a month) and it feels more mechanical for me than emotional. I enjoy it and it's fun, but it feels like work a lot of the times. I'm very sexually open and sex positive, too. I'll answer more questions about my relationship, if wanted.

Forgot to mention that my SO and I tend to have sex once per week. She lives a little distance away and it just makes more sense to see each other on the weekends, in my opinion. It allows us to maintain our (awesome) relationship and keep our independence.

Cool. I appreciate the frankness. How was the journey getting to this point in your life? I don't know if you have a reference for a neurotypical + neurotypical relationship, but if any, what accommodations have you had to make? For example: the way introverts have to make time for themselves and for their partner to understand and respect that.

  My journey thus far? Well, I'm only 20. I have a full time job as a software engineer making a fairly high salary. (College dropouts ftw!) I'm about to buy my first house, too. Getting to this point in my life was fairly interesting. Lots of changes (from Mormon to agnostic, for example.) Some accommodations? Well, I guess I have to put off some side project time to spend time with my SO. Sometimes I really have to force myself to do it even though I really want to to work on one of my projects.
