In this text, we aim to analyze the narratives of young autistic individuals on the dimensions of gender and sexuality, as reported in the podcast Introvertendo. Specifically, we are interested in problematizing the affective and sexual experiences of the podcast producers. Therefore, we rely on a post-structuralist approach, drawing on the theoretical fields of Cultural Studies in Education, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Youth Studies. We employed Netnography as our methodology to analyze episodes featuring the themes relationships and sexual affective experiences of the podcast producers who identify themselves as ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) individuals. Based on the results, we highlight that, despite the invisibility of the theme, the podcast aforementioned acts as a cultural pedagogy, (re)educating young autist individuals in innumerable dimensions, among which, gender and sexuality.

Keywords : Cultural Studies; Gender; Youth Autism; Introvertendo.
