Carnival of Aros June 2023: My Future

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.

The Aromantic Perspective

Reflections from an asexual aromantic

When I was 37 I realised I was aroace and it was the beginning of 2021 I started to identify as this. I decided to start a blog about my experiences and thoughts. Most posts are written in Swedish but if you search for the tag “english” on the blog you can find a few written in English.
