I'm writing, I'm cranking it out.

The the whole parenting thing sort of as we all know takes time from that.

So I'm I'm cranking it out.

It's almost ready to be edited, so it's coming.

We do know that there are higher rates that was another in terms of sexual orientation within kids on the autism spectrum, there are actually higher rates of

homosexual identity, bisexual identity, and asexual identity, all all of the above.

And again, that raises questions about is that related to wiring?

Is it related to exactly the things that the reader so eloquently put that when we really think about intimacy and our relationship to our body, it's a complicated web of sensory stimulation and understanding emotional cues.

And vulnerability and all this kind of thing.

So we don't know exactly why it is yet, but yes, the reader is absolutely correct in in recognizing that our kids on the spectrum

Present differently around some of these issues.

And a parent's job in that situation is just to sort of be all right with it and trust that if they're working with somebody who's a specialist around autism, to be thinking with that person.

But we do know that kids on the autism spectrum don't fit easily into boxes

around gender and sexual orientation more often than kids not on the spectrum fit easily into those boxes.
