Hi! I am diagnosed with high functioning autism and mild intellectual disability and by looking and talking to me you can't tell I have a disability. I started being open about my sexuality and want to know if this true or not because it's kind of making me nervous. I don't know if it's false info or not but someone said this about being intellectual disabled and hooking up. They called me mentally challenged by the way because I don't understand things and it was rude of him to say that because I know the truth about me. I heard it's legal for a typical guy to have sex with a girl that is mildly intellectual disabled like me I'm also high functioning autistic and any disability especially mild intellectual disability becomes a huge liability in family court. It is legal to date and have sex with practically anyone but in disagreements it could be said the disability was taken advantage of. It doesn't matter weather they are or not. In court it can be claimed regardless of whether or not it's true. How would the court be in charge of someone else's relationship? I don't understand! Like for example if someone thinks a girl is intellectually disabled and finds out a typical guy has sex with her they can't press charges to the guy and he could potentially go to prison for having sex with her. The intellectual challenged girl is over 18 and passed many sexual consent tests and could consent to sex but if someone reports the guy for having sex with her, the court could draw a different opinion on her competency. Why could this be untrue? That's what I heard. I've never heard of someone reporting a guy for having sex with a mild intellectual disabled girl especially if they are over 18 and can consent so is this false information?
