Maybe you're just asexual in general? Or it's the idea of touch? I can handle it, but I know a lot of my autistic friends can barely touch anyone at all. Honestly, the idea of sex is the only thing that separates a friend from a girlfriend, for me. Everything I mentioned up there? Same requirements for a friend.
Christian who's willing to look at religions from an objective, anthropological point of view This puts you as "open-minded," which is good. I don't discriminate between religions--from an objective, anthropological POV they're pretty much all the same.
I hadn't heard that it was linked to autism--that's pretty groovy, actually. I have little bits of it--I see letters and numbers as having certain feelings attached to them, and days have colors. Monday is red, Tuesday is purple, Wednesday is blue, Thursday is dark green, Friday is yellow, and Saturday and Sunday don't really have colors. That's about it, though. I wish I had it stronger, because it sounds like such a unique way to view the world.
Wow. I'm impressed that you worked that all out. Yeah, that's a pattern--what'd you'd need to be worried about is if you saw some sort of cosmic significance in the sequence of numbers. The normal human mind is programmed to see patterns, the abnormal one to see conspiracies.
