Ep167: Tying and Being Tied in Rope Bondage with Autism - Listener Question!

A note from Fox and Mya: We’re not medical professionals, so this
episode doesn’t constitute medical advice. We’re also aware that
there are many sensitivities around ASC/ASD that we may overlook.
Bear with us, and feel free to gently and kindly provide feedback
in the comments if there’s something we didn’t get right. We also
aware that
[‘Aspergers’][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome] as a
term is now outdated, and has now been merged into Autism Spectrum
Disorder, but we reference it in the episode as the listener’s
email referred to it. A listener reached out to ask about tying
with someone with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) or Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Fox and Mya aren’t experts in this area,
so they reached out to their listeners to ask them to share their
experience. In this episode, you can hear from seven listeners who
either have themselves, or have a tying partner, with ASC, and were
kind enough to record soundbites for us. They share tips,
challenges, pros and cons of the condition in the context of rope.
The WHO estimates 1 in 100 people is a person with the condition,
and so even if you aren’t currently tying with someone in this
category (as top or bottom), you might find it interesting to help
your rope practice in the future. We hugely appreciate the
vulnerability of the listeners who shared thoughts, and are so
grateful for such a wonderful community prepared to share their
experience.
