Sensory processing differences linked to sexual distress in autistic adults, which can lower relationship and sexual satisfaction. 33% of autistic adults reported impairments to sexual function (e.g., arousal, lubrication) and two-thirds of autistic women had sexuality-related personal distress.

Study: "Autistic burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic life stress and a mismatch of expectations and abilities without adequate supports. It is characterized by pervasive, long-term (typically 3+ months) exhaustion, loss of function, and reduced tolerance to stimulus"

Autistic men have a greater excitation/inhibition imbalance in their prefrontal cortex than neurotypical men do, but autistic women show no such imbalance. Researchers say this could help explain why women tend to camouflage more.

Autism may be the price of human intelligence. Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. The findings comparing the brains of different primates suggest autism is part of the trade-off that made humans so cognitively advanced. : NooTopics
