One thing I don't see spoken about much, as an a-spec person, was how hard this made figuring out my sexuality as a teenager! I long assumed I was straight because it was the default, and I didn't experience same-sex sexual attraction. But I wasn't experiencing opposite-sex attraction either!
Happy International Asexuality Day!
Asexual, often called “ace” for short, refers to a complete or partial lack of sexual attraction or lack of interest in sexual activity with others.
