Aspec

Aspec (Also A-spec, A-spectrum) is a shorthand term for a wide spectrum of orientations that involve feeling little to no attraction, such as Asexual, Aromantic, Aplatonic or other labels. The common link between aspec people is that they do not feel the "standard" amount of attraction or feel it in the "standard" way, and therefore are affected by amatonormativity.

Although the term itself is open to any kind of attraction (or the lack thereof), most people have only known it as an umbrella term for Aro-spec and Ace-spec identities. Other lesser known A- identities, like Aplatonic and Analterous, are left out. Some people also see A-spec as only meaning Asexual Spectrum, and leave out Aro-specs.
