Show Notes
From erotic fan-fiction to her sexual intercourse comment card, Amy Gravino has always had a unique view of romance and sex. Amy, who is on the autism spectrum, is a public speaker and autism sexuality advocate who allowed herself to feel sexual pleasure and love when the rest of the world told her not to.
Now Amy is educating other people on the spectrum on why it’s important for autistic people to talk openly about sex, and how they too can find pleasure.
