So I know that despite the classic portrayal of an autist being someone who is asexual, many of us are at the opposite end of the scale. Yet if you search for Lemmy communities, there are several for asexual folk and none for hypersexual folk. Is there any good resources for us to rant/support each other/talk about our struggles? If it were specifically for neurodivergent folk, that would be a great bonus.

    As far as I know, there are no active ace communities on Lemmy.

    Also, I don’t think ace and hypersexual are antonyms. Not even sure if hypersexual is even a well defined within psychological circles, except to say when thoughts about sex are frequent enough to cause distress, including things from OCD to high libido and more, all of which aces can also deal with. If anything, being ace probably means being more likely to deal with stress from those things if you have them. Being a horny ace is annoying.

    Anyways, good luck find a community. Seems like the type of niche thing you’d have to go to a larger website for. But they’d probably attract a lot of with weird sex-negative ideas (think far-right people like proud boys who are at least somewhat serious about things like NNN).
