YourFavoriteWeapon Posted September 17 Posted September 17 I always assumed I just had severe ADHD coupled with C-PTSD/OCD/MDD, but I'm thinking that autism could be a possibility. I tested negative as a child but was told that I still had "slight autistic tendencies" and I feel like they're only increased with age instead of subsided. The majority of autistic people in my life told me that they can buy the idea of me being autistic and that getting tested doesn't seem like the worst idea. I wouldn't let a diagnosis define me because I'm lucky to have accepting family and friends and an amazing boyfriend who straight up told me if I was a little 🧩 he wouldn't remotely look at me differently and finds my stimming cute so I definitely think that I understand social cues much better than the average autistic person but I do struggle with INTENSE hyper fixations pertaining to special interests, stimming, an inability to maintain eye contact, and also both ARFID and dyspraxia which are typically comorbid with autism. I'm just curious if any girls here are on the spectrum and would be interested in any possible perspectives on navigating autism in the gay community considering the whole "dog eat dog"/social hierarchy aspect would understandably make it difficult to be openly autistic and make some with it feel compelled to mask in social situations in fear of judgement or bullying.
Alldeezy Posted September 17 Posted September 17 I got dyspraxia and autistim so uh yeah. It's why I struggle most the time
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted September 17 Posted September 17 I suspect I am on the spectrum too. Did a lot of research as an adult and found I could relate to almost all of the symptoms and signs. Never was really tested for it though. 1
