Dr. Anon, M.D. probably knows how people say "neuroTYPICAL" as opposed to having an autistic spectrum "DISORDER". But when you think about it, health is nothing more than a subjective human judgment that humans make about nature. What is "unhealthy" about having a "low" sex drive? Why?
well. health may be subjective, but it’s usually based on something, and that something tends to be “how well you can go about your life”. clearly if you have the flu you are less able to do things like breathe, so you are less healthy. which is how stuff gets in the DSM: autism throws up barriers to social interaction that most people don’t have to struggle with.
which makes things like a low sex drive kind of fuzzy. it could go either way: a low sex drive may or may not bother a person. a high sex drive may or may not bother a person. depends entirely on how it gets expressed and whether it’s causing problems.
i do have some problems i wouldn’t mind resolving but i don’t think low sex drive is the underlying cause
