This is a piece I wrote for the June 2023 Carnival of Aros, themed around being aromantic in an allonormative world.

CW: this piece will briefly discuss the fact that we live in a queerphobic world, and that anti-autistic ableism is a risk that autistic people may face when entering intimate relationships. It’s all only short mentions, but they’re there.

Hey once again to the aro community!

June is over and there have been some WONDERFUL submissions shared, and I can't be selfish and keep them to myself. So here are the submissions that were shared with me (they're shared in hyperlinks, click the name of the post to access them) :

A Tumblr submission made by user nonesensed.

Thanks everyone who submitted, and if you still want to write about this topic, you're free to. You can send it to me and I'll share it!
