Re: Maps with autism

I'm autistic as well. I think my autism played a part in finding those in my AoA easier to talk with. I find them sweet and genuine, in a way I still don't find adults.

Re: Why do you tell yourself that kids can consent?

I've just finished reading a book called "The Trouble with Trauma." It's a push-back on the whole cPTSD expansion of trauma. It’s written by a child psychiatrist. The first suprising thing I learned, was Bassel van der Kolk didn’t work in child psychiatry.

One of the main points the book makes, is ...

Re: Maps with autism

I'm autistic. When I was an older teen I thought I was just coming into my adult sexuality late. I thought my AoA would grow with me. When it didn't that's when it started to dawn on me that something was different.

Re: How Did you Discover your Attraction with Minors of Any Age?

I knew for sure at twelve. I played with my younger cousin, and found out through our play. I don't feel comfortable going into details as that could reveal my identity.

Re: Why do you tell yourself that kids can consent?

-How is it “too much”? What about MAP sexuality is too much” for the “young brain” to handle? Its not like we are doinc calculus or filing taxes?

Re: Why do you tell yourself that kids can consent?

Hi

Hi folks,

I've been in the online MAP world for a while. I'm known as mirrorlibarian88 at MAP Rights Forum, and Zach Reinhart at B4UM. I've also been on VoA, and another boylover forum briefly early on.

I'm anti-contact. I was formally pro-contact, but was under the influence of a MAP who I’d say ...
