Autistic and trying to find my way in kink...
Post Body

First of all if this is not the right place to post, then please signpost me in the right direction :)

I will try to be as clear as possible in my post, and add as much context as I can.

For context - I am 26 years old (F) and I have high functioning autism (I am from the UK and have always known it referred to as 'high functioning autism' but I appreciate it could be known as something else depending where you are from). My autism doesn't tend to hold me back in life too much - I live alone, I drive, I work and generally lead a "normal" life. However I do have a lot of anxiety and I really struggle meeting and even speaking to new people, and going to unfamiliar places, I also have some sensory issues when it comes to physical touch.

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in BDSM and kink, I am naturally very submissive and about 4 years ago I was able to have a very small taste of BDSM with an older guy I was seeing and since then it has left me wanting to be able to fully explore my submissive side and be able to fully submit to a Dom. I have done a lot of research into BDSM and read up on all the safety advice. I have realised over the past year or two that purely vanilla relationships do not work for me anymore, and what I really desire is a TPE style D/s dynamic - I am aware that my autism plays a big part in my interest in BDSM with the rules, structure and routine etc.

My issue is... where and how do I go about finding this? I have been on 'Fetlife' for about a year now, but a majority of guys on there tend to be just looking for a quick hook up and have no real interest in kink, are married or are extremely creepy. I have tried writing a few personal ads on Reddit, but have the same issue here. I have heard of munches and know that these tend to be the best places to meet fellow kinksters and potential Dom's, but I do not feel like I'd have the confidence to ever attend a munch.

Are there any other websites/apps that people can recommend? Or any other ideas... I am only looking for real life (online play does not appeal to me in the slightest.)

In all my ads on both fetlife and here I have always been open and upfront about my autism, I think it's important for any Dom to know from the get go. Is there anything I should (or shouldn't) be including in personal ads?

I am open to any advice

Many thanks
