== Relationship between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Inceldom ==
 
Individuals with ASD are overrepresented in the [[incel]] population as a whole. As a matter of fact, it could be reasonably surmised that the majority of men with the disorder are incel (but do not necessarily identify as such). A study (which included a review of the relevant literature relating to sexuality in people with ASD) published in the Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience revealed  that:<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5789215/</ref> <ref> https://incels.co/threads/nuclear-autismpill-the-abysmal-sex-life-of-aspie-men.66103/</ref>
* Individuals with more ASD symptoms reported lower sexual and relationship satisfaction
* Female ASD individuals were significantly younger at time of first sexual intercourse (then males with ASD)
* Autistic Males had much higher rates of sexual paraphilias (fetishes) then healthy controls and ASD females.
* Some evidence that women with ASD "might present less pronounced social and communication deficits and have special interests that are more compatible to the interests of their peer groups." (Study authors hypothesised that this was due to ASD women using better coping strategies then ASD men to "pass" as NT  and imitate non-NT behavior, but examining this assertion from a blackpill lens would lead one to different conclusions.)
* Males with ASD were found to engage more in solitary sexual activities then the NT men in the sample, (16.1% of ASD men reported masturbating multiple times a day versus none of the NT men in the sample, and 14% of the NT men reported 'never' masturbating versus none of the ASD men reporting as such, for example)
* '''The amount of men with ASD  who reported being in a relationship was 16% versus 82% of NT men and 46% of females with ASD.''' (Sample was comprised of people in their mid 30s on average.)
(Note: This figure is likely understating the number of ASD men who are incel,as there are a disproportionately higher number of homosexual/biseuxal men with ASD compared to NTs. The researchers lumped these into a single group.) This is also despite men with ASD reporting having higher levels of sexual desire and masturbating more frequently then NT men.

44.6% of autistic men were found to still virgins among a sample with the average age being 35.7 years.

Autistic men were found to masturbate more and have a greater desire for a relationship than normal neurotypical (NT) men. However, only 16% of autistic men were in a relationship while 82% of NT men were in a relationship. NT men were 5x more likely to be in a relationship than their autistic counterparts.

Autism did not so greatly reduce women's ability to find relationships with men, as 46% of women were able to have relationships, while only 16% of men were.

This is likely due to the fact that autism reduces an individual's capacity for emotional interaction, but normal men crave emotional interaction less than normal women, so this will disproportionately impair an autistic man's attempts to find a relationship vs. an autistic woman's.
