shes a little confused but shes got the spirit lol

Not a xenogender, but an aromantic identity where you feel as if whatever arospec identity you identify with is connected to your autism! It's exclusive to autistic people (duh)

It's just called Autiromantic.

Autisexual, an aspec identity where it feels connected to your autism!

Autiallo is an orientation which can only be understood in the context of being on the autism spectrum, when one's autism greatly affects one's allosexuality/alloromanticism. Autiallo is not autism as an orientation, but rather an identity that is so heavily influenced by autism that one's autism and one's allosexuality/alloromanticism cannot be unlinked. Autiallo people may feel like they are allo in a uniquely autistic way. Not all autistic allo people identify as autiallo, only those whose allosexuality/alloromanticism is influenced by them being autistic. Autiallo is an exclusive identity only to be used by people on the autism spectrum.

AUTISEXUAL: a sexuality that can only be understood through the eyes of autism, or heavily influenced by one’s autism

COLOR MEANINGS:  i started with this here autigender flag

which is sorta just a rainbow minus purple. and then took some inspiration from the pansexual/pangender flag duo to actually arrange it.

first, i did some color editing. i turned the blue to a purplish blue and the red to a pink, then switched the positions of green and orange. i wanted the “deleted” colors to be shown in some way, so i also mixed green and yellow to get a yellower tone, and orange and red to get a redder orange. 

this resulted in two pairings which i found quite interesting. they’re both pretty unconventional, different. kinda clash but also work really well together. they’re not what you would expect as a pretty pairing, yet they are. and that really encompasses autism as a whole, no? we don’t act as expected all the time, but it’s still beautiful and unique.

there’s also another aspect i found quite interesting: the pink and the green are both kinda bright and loud, they give me outgoing and friendly vibes, while the purple and orange are mellow and cool, at least to me. which also is a nice little nod to us and how different we can act not only from each other, but just ourselves depending on how we’re feeling.

 then there’s of course the infinity symbol which is a pretty popular autistic and neurodivergent thing as a whole and a superlight grey barrier between green/pink and purple/yellow to provide a little break in the color action. i actually really like this flag. i’m proud of it and i hope you like it too!

I love that you make nd flags and flags for underrepresented identities! ♡ /gen

Autiattractional & Autiorientation Pride Flag

Autiattractional term coined by @ten-clowning-street and flag designed by @asphyxiatedredherring.

Autiorientation term coined by @themogaidragon (aka me héhé).

Definitions:

Autiattractional: An orientation in which a person on the autism spectrum cannot tell the difference between different types of attraction due to being autistic. And/or an orientation in which a person on the autism spectrum is unable to understand and/or relate to the neurotypical concept of attraction, sexuality and/or orientation. And/or an orientation which can only be understood in the context of being autistic.

Autiorientation: orientation which can only be understood in the context of being on the autism spectrum, when one's autism greatly affects one's orientation. Autiorientation is not autism as a orientation, but rather an identity that is so heavily influenced by autism that one's autism and one's orientation cannot be unlinked. Not all autistic people identify with autiorientation(s), only those whose orientation is influenced by them being autistic.

Hi! I’m asking about this because while there’s a lot of people talking about the connection between autism and gender expression, I don’t see many people talking about the connection between autism and romantic and/or sexual orientation. 

PT: Autiace/Autiasexual /end PT

ID: flag with five horizontal stripes, black, gray, white, gray, black, with a purple infinity symbol in the middle, which vertically reaches middles of the gray stripes and has a white outline. End ID

ID: same thing with different colors and symbol design. The infinity is thinner and black, top stripes purple and light purple. End ID

Autiace/Autiasexual: a sexual orientation on asexual spectrum which can only be understood in the context of being on the autism spectrum, when one's autism greatly affects one's asexuality. Autiace is not autism as a sexual orientation, but rather an ace-spec identity that is so heavily influenced by autism that one's autism and one's asexuality cannot be unlinked.

Not all autistic asexual people identify as autiace, only those whose asexuality is influenced by them being autistic. Autiace is an exclusive identity only to be used by people on the autism spectrum. However, autistic people anywhere on the asexual spectrum (i.e. including demisexual, greysexual, etc.) may identify as autiace.

The aromantic counterpart is autiaro/autiaromantic.
