Is it maybe a control thing, then? Like, your body is doing this thing you don't want it to, and since it feels like it (your arousal) is making you physically feel things you don't want to, maybe it's not the sensation itself so much as that as far as your body's concerned, it doesn't give a shit that your brain belongs to an asexual sex-repulsed autistic person, it wants an orgasm, but "you," your brain and self, are like "body, wtf are you doing? Stop that!"

Also, as an autistic person who's not sex-repulsed, sometimes when I'm aroused but not particularly by anything or anyone specific, it does get a little annoying. Like, comparing having sex/masturbating to scratching an itch doesn't always seem like a fair comparison to me, but then it does, because it's like my brain isn't involved and it's just a physical sensation, about as interesting as one of those really annoying itches between your shoulderblades.

I'm the ace anon below, and this is what I was thinking too. It's pretty much exactly how I felt about orgasms when I was a little kid and they would just come on really suddenly.

Furthermore, I would guess it's both a control thing, as you've said, and also a matter of interpretation. Not like "thinking it through" interpretation, but just the very automatic way that a person's brain interprets the feeling of arousal. For most people I think there's a kind of instinctual understanding of that feeling, which makes the person able to recognize such a strong feeling as pleasure. But if the brain and the body aren't speaking to each other in order to form that instinctive "understanding," then it's not hard to see how something that feels so strong might not automatically be interpreted as good. Kind of like if you have amusia (that thing where you're brain doesn't perceive melody) and your roommate suddenly starts playing the radio loudly.
