To recap #AromanticSpectrumAwarenessWeek, it is important to remember that identities and attractions do not necessarily define or predict being #aromantic. So don't let anyone tell you that being #aro means anything less than who you are.

There are many different forms of #Aromanticism, that is why you may heard of the #AromanticSpectrum (abbreviated as #arospec). Like other sexual orientations, it exists across a range of identities. There are several terms that people may prefer to further specify - like Demiromantic, Lithromantic, Gray-aromantic to name a few.

What’s #aromantic and what’s #asexual? Romantic orientation is separate from sexual orientation, so people who identify as #aro aren’t necessary also #ace. While there can be overlap between the two identities, and many people do identify as aro and ace, we shouldn’t assume that the two always go hand in hand.
