Relationships & Sexuality A HANDBOOK FOR AND BY AUTISTIC PEOPLE relationships & sexuality Edited by Elesia Ashkenazy & Melanie Yergeau A project produced by Autism NOW, a national initiative of The Arc, and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network Copyright 2013 Autistic Self Advocacy Network and individual authors Requests for permission to use materials from this project in new publications should be directed to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network: Autistic Self Advocacy Network PO Box 66122 Washington, DC 20035 http://autisticadvocacy.org DESIGN Typeset in Arial Book and cover design: Melanie Yergeau | 2 Acknowledgments This book is but a first. In the months we spent planning and editing and poring over pages, we realized, all too quickly, how little has been said about autism and sexuality. And again, all too quickly, we recognized that any anthology on autistic relationships would represent but a sampling of our community’s diversity. And so, this book is a first. We are proud to say that it will not be the last. A truly collective effort, Relationships & Sexuality represents the skills, wisdom, and labor of many. First, we wish to thank our project’s sponsors, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, The Arc, and the Autism NOW Center. Throughout the project, members from each organization lent time and advice. In particular, we’d like to thank Tonia Ferguson, Melody Latimer, and Ari Ne’eman for their continued expertise. We also thank Melanie Yergeau, who served as our typesetter, collator, and copy editor. Bethany Stevens, our inimitable reviewer, guided us through early drafts. Her always incisive comments shaped the direction and scope of this project, for which we cannot thank her enough. Additionally, Deb Kuzawa and Margaret Price counseled us through some of the project’s volleys, and we know this book is sharper and more storied because of their efforts. And, finally, our contributors: It’s no understatement to assert that this project would not exist without you. | iii This manuscript, written by and for adults with autism, discusses topics relating to sexuality in a frank and open manner. Although these topics may be uncomfortable and even offensive to some people, it is important to present this information as a continued effort to empower individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Any views or opinions presented in the following articles and essays are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of the Autism NOW Center. Additionally, although Autism NOW respects the authors’ use of Identity-Based Language, as the National Resource and Information Center, we promote and encourage the use of People First Language. This report/document/etc. was supported in part by a cooperative agreement from the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Administration for Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Grantees undertaking projects under government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities policy. | iv Foreword by Elesia Ashkenazy The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) is excited to have collaborated with Autism NOW on this cutting-edge project about relationships, sexuality, and the Autistic community. The hallmark of our organization is to provide support and services to Autistic individuals while working to educate communities and improve public perceptions of autism. We strive to open doors for people to live fulfilling and productive lives. There should be no limitations on the possibilities for Autistic individuals to achieve their personal goals and to attain the dreams they have for themselves. Nothing about us without us! This anthology aims to take readers on a thought-provoking journey about relationships and sexuality through the eyes of Autistic self- advocates. It is tempered with advice, rich perspectives, and stories that are woven through the personal experiences of our contributors. In the following pages, you’ll discover information about romance, marriage, expectations, consent, myths, and sexual abuse. Other topics include cultural fascination, gender transition, asexuality, and other similar subjects. We have high hopes that those who encounter this resource will find that the information and advocacy ideas presented are helpful in advancing their own life experiences. It is an honor and a privilege to participate in providing firsthand information to the community straight from the source: Autistic self-advocates. We wish we could sit down and have a chat with | v each of our readers over a cup of coffee, tea—or whatever it is that is fancied—so that we could exchange further ideas and answer questions. Though we cannot teleport, please know that we appreciate your support and that we encourage you to stop by at any time: http://autisticadvocacy.org/ | vi Contents Acknowledgments ....................................................................................iii Foreword ................................................................................................... v Part 1: Identity and becoming 1.

It might not have been love at first sight for the two of us, exactly—but synergy at first speech? That it was. It was like a couple of dogs meeting up in the dog park and stopping to sniff and wag their tails with delighted impunity— “Yep, I like this one. I couldn’t tell you why, but I do.” There was no angst whatsoever about did he like me, did I blow it, will I ever see him again; we just blended, like creaming Earth Balance spread into sugar. Yum. Trust me, nothing like this had ever happened to me. During my prior 41 years on this earth, I had—in addition to one spectacular mismatch of a marriage—dozens of fabulous relationships. Only they were all in my head. (To say I was the Queen of the Unrequited Crush since the age of 11 would be lowballing it; I could have taught a class on how to fantasize endlessly about someone who won’t ever ask you for a date, let alone look your way.) When a few of my old crushes did materialize, I turned out to be staggeringly wrong about my crush-object’s rightness for me. In fact, that’s partly what got me married to Brave Sir Mismatch in the first place. At age 33, I was starving for someone to think I was good enough, pretty enough, and nice enough to want forever. I ached, screamed, and cried for something a therapist very helpfully told me “doesn’t happen between men and women,” a concept that love, when it came at last, would be a permanent validation sticker to affix to my backside. | 2 I married Brave Sir Mismatch because I wanted to feel “normal.” Instead, I just wound up feeling

Matt, who is fascinated by Antarctica, is visiting the white continent and recalling his love affair with Lisa. In voice-over, he compares being in Antarctica to being ‘two people in a bed - claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place’. Images of ice and the never-ending Antarctic landscape are effectively cut in to shots of the crowded concerts.

  • The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, Deborah Allison (2013) Plymouth: Lexington, 224 Pp., ISBN: 798-0-7391-2583-0 (Pbk)
    The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, Deborah Allison (2013) Plymouth: Lexington, 224 pp., ISBN: 798-0-7391-2583-0 (pbk) About half-way through The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, Deborah Allison cites Annette Kuhn’s observation that it is both more interesting and more important to discuss what film genres do than what they are (116). As part of the Genre Film Auteurs series, one of the principle objectives of Allison’s book is to investigate what it is that genre does in the work of Michael Winterbottom, one of the most extraordinarily prolific and controversial of contemporary British filmmakers. Thus, in each of the book’s eight chapters, Allison sets out to use genre as a ‘as a critical tool’ (x), focusing her attention on one of the director’s films and the variety of ways in which its dominant genre identity is constructed, inflected and, more often than not, inverted. In this way, despite a focus that is narrower than some auteur studies, Allison successfully unearths a variety of themes and characteristics that run throughout Winterbottom’s eclectic oeuvre. After a brief introduction setting out these objectives and their parameters, the first chapter begins with an investigation of Butterly Kiss (1995) and its relationship to the road movie. This is the earliest film discussed in the fifteen years of Winterbottom’s output covered in the book, and Allison’s discussion of it provides a useful foundation for the other chapters. Indeed, each chapter follows a broadly similar framework, beginning with a short plot synopsis before exploring each film in relation to its respective genre/s, discussing the ways in which the films draw on and challenge established genre codes and convention.

    MIRACLE FILM DISTRIBUTION Pressevisning: Torsdag den 24. august kl. 09.30 i Vester Vov Vov Rob Brydon & Steve Coogan i Michael Winterbottoms THE TRIP TO SPAIN DANMARKSPREMIERE TORSDAG DEN 31. AUGUST 2017 Gloria Biograf, Vester Vov Vov, Øst for Paradis, Nicolai Bio Kolding, Cafebiografen Odense, Gentofte Kino, Reprise Teatret Holte, Valby Kino, Værløse Bio The two amigos are back... Steve Coogan og Rob Brydon vender tilbage og Michael Winterbottom styrer for tredje gang løjerne og holder tøjlerne i ‘The Trip to Spain’, fortsættelsen af de kulinariske succesfilm ‘The Trip’ og ‘The Trip to Italy’. Denne gang sætter det spanske køkken rammen omkring en munter og lettere bidsk rejse udi karrierens og kærlighedens genvordigheder. Mon ikke det også fyger om sig med sjove jokes og et par parodier eller tre... fire...? Steve har nu rundet det skarpe 50'er-hjørne og er stadig på jagt efter kærligheden. Han vil gerne finde sammen med sin ex-kæreste Mischa, men hun er optaget af en anden mand. Der er fuld fart på Robs skuespillerkarriere og familielivet kunne ikke være bedre. Han har fået endnu et barn, siden Steve så ham sidst. Steve er netop begyndt som kok i en amerikansk tv-serie og er blevet bedt om at lave nogle madanmeldelser i Spanien som reklame for serien. Som sædvanlig skriver Rob avisartiklerne og bruger denne gang Don Quixote som inspiration. Imens håber Steve på at skrive en mere ambitiøs bog baseret på turen og hans tidligere oplevelser i Spanien. Han ser sig selv i fodsporet på forfatterskaber som Orwell, Hemingway og Laurie Lee.

  • And Activist Cinema
    Cinematic perspectives on the ‘war on terror’: The Road to Guantánamo (2006) and activist cinema Bruce Bennett On 14th March, 2006, The Road to Guantánamo (Whitecross,1 Winterbottom) became the first film ever to be released simultaneously in cinemas, on broadcast television, on DVD and over the internet for streaming or downloading. This unprecedented adoption of a „day-date‟ release schedule by the film‟s British distributor is a sign that, as a consequence of shifts in film-viewing practices, the cinema screen is no longer the first choice of platform for audiences. Releasing a film in several media formats simultaneously cuts the distribution costs (reducing the number of prints that need to be struck, and reducing the advertising costs, since the film only needs to be marketed once), and makes the distribution of such low-budget films as this £1.45m production viable. Importantly, however, simultaneous distribution allows a film like The Road to Guantánamo to reach a much wider audience on its immediate release than it might otherwise address if it were released only into cinemas in the first instance before being released over several months on satellite or cable, on DVD and video, and then, finally, on free-to-air broadcast TV. It can circulate in the public sphere in a significant and very particular way. On the one hand this „represents the emergence of 1 Although Mat Whitecross, who has been employed by Michael Winterbottom‟s production company, Revolution Films, in a range of roles from runner to editor, is credited as co-director of The Road to Guantánamo, this article discusses the film primarily in relation to other films directed by Winterbottom.
