Aspergers and Naturism/Nudism

[Guest guest]

Since I have been a member of Aspires, I haven't seen this topic so I

am going to start a new topic - Aspergers and naturism/nudism. I

would be curious to know if any research has been done on this

topic. If so, what does the research say about it? What do you

think about it? Do you think people who have AS would be comfortable

in an environment as such? Why or why not?

I'll start first, so people don't feel like " Ok, who's going to touch

this topic? " As for myself, I have been a naturist/nudist since

2003. For having AS, I find that this lifestyle helps me very much

because I can be in an environment that is safe to me. I can be

around other people who share the same opinions as me. I feel that

nudism/naturism allows me to be on a more level playing field of

sorts than in the non-naturist world. I am not judged for having

AS. I can be myself. Most people I know are non-nudists, and I know

that naturism/nudism is more prevaling in Europe and in more liberal

parts of the world than here. I have been a member of AANR (American

Association for Nude Recreation), but am seeking to become a member

of TNS (The Naturist Society) soon.

I will respect people's opinions on the subject, although I may not

agree with everyone's opinions. I welcome NT/NS responses as well.

If you don't feel comfortable sharing your opinion here, please feel

free to email me from this group and express your opinion.

Just wanted to get this conversation started, since I had never seen

it posted.

Naturally,
