When you exist as a disabled person who is Asexual, the historical infantilisation of disabled people can make Asexuality hard to navigate.

It has been said and widely believed throughout history that disabled people are not capable of experiencing sexual attraction. This is of course not true. From experience, the idea that disabled people can have anything to do with sex or intimacy is still a surprise to many.

However disabled people, like myself can still be Asexual. This does not mean that being Asexual is a disability or that all those who are disabled are Asexual.

Asexuality and Disability are simply elements of the human experience that can be experienced as an intersectionality.

My own personal experience of Asexuality and Disability are a little more complex and interwoven than this. But this is not the case for everyone.

Not all disabled people are the same.
Not all asexual people are the same.
