Heyyyy im cici,I’m 14,a girl, my favorite color is pink, and I’m an AAM! I’m exited to talk to everyone here because I struggle to find spaces where I feel accepted and can freely talk about my feelings without feeling judged.

I first accepted the fact I was attracted to adults by age 11. since then I’ve been struggling to understand myself and why I think the way I do, I hope that the conversations I have here can help that.

(ps sorry if I sound to formal or my formatting is weird I’m on the spectrum and it’s my first time ever using a forum)

Attraction to adults is normal for girls age 11-14, although society has deemed it inappropriate for adults to respond positively to flirtation from that age range. A male teacher would lose their job and future employment prospects, but the attractions themselves are normal and something you will grow into.

Welcome Cici! I hope you'll feel at home here. You definitely won't be judged for your sexuality.

As Jim Burton pointed out, it's quite normal for girls 11-14 to be attracted to adults. Symmetrically, it's also quite normal for adult men to be attracted to girls in that age range. Having a preference for that age range, like I do, is called hebephilia, and it's also quite common. There is a controversy regarding whether or not the DSM should include hebephilia as a "mental disorder". As things stand, it fortunately does not.

There's nothing wrong about your intro. By the way, many of us here are on the spectrum too, myself included.
