    Hello again

    Thank you! Nice to meet you as well, thank you! My gender is a little confusing, but I think I prefer he/him pronouns. You are right. After reading your post I realized it's okay to take my time on this journey and approach a doctor if/when I feel ready to. Thank you for your help!

    Hello again

    Thank you, I am glad to be back! My gender identity itself is not female but I was born female and have most people assume that I am. So yeah, I've really struggled with getting doctors to understand me and take me seriously. It's not quite that I need a diagnosis, but I wish it could be...

    Hi, I have a question

    Thank you for your reply! I feel reassured after reading it. I'm happy to know I'm not alone! I'm getting a new psychiatrist soon and I'm thinking of bringing it up with them.

    Hi, I have a question

    Hello! I'm new here. I think I might be autistic. I'm very sensitive to sensory input, I stim a lot (rocking back and forth and flapping my hands are my "favorite" ones, hehe), I hate being touched, eye contact is uncomfortable, I have special interests, I have a hard time switching activities...
