What Is Asexuality?

Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by a persistent lack of sexual attraction toward any gender. It exists on a spectrum — some asexual individuals experience no sexual attraction at all, while others (gray-asexual or demisexual) experience it rarely or only under specific conditions.

Asexuality is not a disorder, dysfunction, or choice. It is a valid orientation experienced by approximately 1% of the population. However, it is often overlooked or misunderstood, which can lead to confusion and self-doubt.

This screening tool can help you reflect on your experiences and determine whether further exploration of asexual identity might be meaningful for you.

Asexuality & Neurodivergence

Research has found higher rates of asexual identification among autistic individuals. The relationship between neurodivergence and sexuality is complex — some autistic people experience differences in how they process social and sexual cues, while others simply have a naturally lower drive for sexual connection.

At the Sachs Center, we understand that identity exploration often intersects with neurodevelopmental differences. Whether you’re exploring asexuality, autism, ADHD, or all of the above, our clinicians provide affirming, knowledgeable support.
