Abstract in brief

The study surveyed 2,386 adults (1,183 autistic, ages 16-90) to explore differences in sexual orientation and behaviors between autistic and nonautistic individuals.
Autistic individuals were found to be less likely to report sexual activity or heterosexuality, showing higher instances of asexuality and varied sexual orientations, particularly autistic males leaning toward bisexuality and females toward homosexuality.
The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive sexual education and healthcare that acknowledges the diverse sexual orientations of autistic individuals to address their unique mental and physical health needs.

I don't want to fault a graduate student for this, but using "males" and "females" to refer to trans people who were -assigned- male at birth or -assigned- female at birth is not okay. That's not inclusive research. That's misgendering. @sbaroncohen https://t.co/pqV5KXXQmJ
