The Safe Word is “Consent”: The Psychology of Autism and Sex
What do kink, structure, and sensory regulation have in common? For many autistic individuals, BDSM isn’t just about pleasure—it’s about safety, identity, and healing.
In this episode of Brain Trash, Maria and Tabitha explore:
- Why autistic folks are often drawn to kink communities
- The comfort of clear roles, rules, and rituals
- How consent and power exchange can support trauma recovery
- The connection between sensory needs and intimacy
- Why clinicians need to stop pathologizing kink
This isn’t a taboo—it’s a mental health conversation.
