Good Websites for Information on Aro/Ace?


Recommended Posts

Hello! I just wanted to ask if anyone had any links or good websites to check out for information on Aromanticism (and/or) Asexuality!  It has come to my attention that my school's counselor didn't even know what either of these terms meant, and she has expressed that she would like to know more. :)    I just want to make a list of websites for her!   

( I also really want this google doc to be able to be helpful for anyone! Anyone who want's to understand, figure stuff out, and share information!) 

I can post the link of the google doc if anyone wants to use it, and I hope that you guys can help! 

Have a great day everyone!

There's https://www.aromanticism.org/, https://taaap.org/, and https://www.asexuality.org/

I don't use any of these sites very often so I can't vet all the content, but they should at least be good for introducing new people to the identities

I used aromanticism.org a lot in my own questioning, and still send people there if they have questions. I would highly recommend it.

uh, maybe Carnival of Aros? But that's more related to specific situations/experiences involving aro people.

For demisexuality: http://demisexuality.org/

Aromantic:

AUREA was already listed, but they also have a page of resources, including a bunch of sites, you could check out: https://www.aromanticism.org/en/resources-1

https://aromanticguide.com/

https://www.arospecweek.org/about-aromanticism/

It's really awesome you want to help educate the counselor so she can be a better counselor for students!

I hope you are aware of this but just to make it clear to you. This is a small site. If you point this site out to your Councillor and they look around here they could quite easily match you to your profile based on the fact they know you were looking to give aro resources to them. From that they could find any other online presence you have with that name. If you are ok with that fine but I think its fair to bring up to people that there is that consequence.

Oh, sheesh, I am so sorry, I did not realise that her account could be traced back to her!

Be careful, @TheNothingFairy!

No worries.

To be honest I keep forgetting that sort of thing. Its only because that therapist would know she had been collecting aro resources for her. Maybe also that im being a bit paranoid but oh well

Thank you guys, I didn't use this website as a resource for reasons similar to these, and thank you again. I will be careful, and I hope you all have a great day! 

Again, thanks you guys so much, I am so grateful for you guys :)
