Trauma, followed by substance abuse, induced Aromantic & Asexuality. Because of abuse (emotional, sexual, and physical) they turned to substance abuse as a maladaptive coping mechanism. They may feel a disconnect with sexuality because of the chemicals longterm side effects, and the trauma as well as disinterested in romantic pursuits because of the chemical and traumatic dulling of their emotions/capability to feel and connect.
This was self indulgent & HEAVILY inspired by the first 5 songs of the OK COMPUTER album by Radiohead. This is a relatively flexible term but it must be used cis&traumagenically: not trans or tris. This label was meant to capture a specific origin of aromantic and asexuality combined, as something when driven far enough, made into being by hardship. And to destigmatize. (<- DOES NOT mean encourage)
