I am extremely surprised more autisticy homeschoolers haven't gone on to be successful sex workers. I'd have guessed they'd be prime candidates!

Re: ppl asking why, autistic homeschoolers seem particularly sectioned off from the rest of society by both nature and nurture, and thus more immune/independently operating. Also more likely to approach sex work analytically, which there's not a lot of competition around

I think separate from those traits, you personally have a lot higher personal risk tolerance than a lot of people, which is the opposite of most autistic homeschoolers I think.

Autistics frequently have trouble discerning other's feelings, which is key to sexual intimacy. You'd think this would impair sex work skills. Perhaps some autistics can compensate with enhanced analytical skills, though this might read as phony to some attuned 'neurotypicals'.

I think a big reason why not is leftover religious programming. It’s just not something they think of as an option. The other being risk aversion like another reply mentioned. It’s hard to know in advance if you will make a living, and the “reputational hit” happens regardless.

That's the bit I always have a hard time getting my head around. How you'd have an Onlyfans when you've still got a school peer group you'd feel judging you for it. It's really hard to shake that when you've grown up with it.
