Even the definition of demisexual didn't outright explain that yes, I can have a totally allo-seeming reaction to my romantic partner (once I fell in love with him, anyway) and still be aspec. I learned that from some college kid's video on youtube early last year. (I'm 47.)

I have had the great privilege of being interviewed by Cody, and he is such an amazing person and wise elder ace. He is simply remarkable to everyone and kind to everyone. I hope everyone gives a follow to Cody, because he is very intelligent and empathetic.

I have a great opportunity to be an elder to the students through the pride center at my college. lt always makes me smile when they recognize my flag, and even think to grab an ace sticker or other freebie for me. It’s so hard to feel like I’m their elder sometimes. They seem to be taking care of me just as much.

I had my asexual awakening in November 2009, when I was 22, by finding others (first a classmate, then by finding AVEN) and seeing myself in their experiences. It was very liberating. I’m 36, going on 37, now. Thank you for sharing this idea of our part to play in the Ace Community.
