    Do you think in pictures?

    When I read I usually picture what is happening or what the text is saying tbh, but I will sometimes mentally "hear" someone reading it or verbally saying what is being said (ex: the text says "he/she/it said" or something similar) When I mostly "hear" stuff in my mind its when I am thinking...

    Do you think in pictures?

    I think a lot in pictures tbh but I also "think in words". For me at least I mentally "hear" the words being spoken. I think in sounds that are not only words as well tbh. Like I can picture different noises and "hear" them in my head. I personally don't see the words or read them but I've read...

    Natural ways to get high

    nutmeg can get you fudged up but its also dangerous if you smoke too much. I know my Turkish friend smokes it with ciggies so it is possible.

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    I think there is a certain degree of usefulness to think about it but you are also right that its a flawed way to go about things since its too abstract and not realistic.

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    I apologize if I came across like I was yelling, I use bold/larger text to emphasis a point but I always forget that most people interpret this as yelling. I just really wanted to emphasis that you can't just self accept yourself out of being trans or having gender dysphoria since that opinion...

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    Dysphoria doesn't go away just through self acceptance!!!!! I can NOT stress this enough. This is literally TERF tier, pro-conversion therapy logic. Just because your kid is trans doesn't mean you know what its like to be trans or an expert on trans issues. I'm sorry but you will NEVER...

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    I'm sorry but this is just blatantly wrong. Maybe if someone was really high functioning it would impact their life so little it would barely be a disability or something to even think about but autism is a biological fact. If you took a severely autistic person onto an island they would still...

    Hard time following rules accidentally

    ngl I tend to also not follow rules that I see as dumb/don't want to follow but a part of that comes with following rules that I dont personally care about that much. If I want to stay some places or not get in trouble I generally have to follow rules. I find if you follow most of the rules...

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    Being trans isn't just liking things the opposite sex likes so you want to be that sex, its having an innate discomfort with your physical sexual characteristics because your brain got "miswired" as a fetus to see itself as a sex that it isn't. When your body does not match that wiring you get...

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    But if gender is a social construct then you can't innately be a trans person. Trans people are trans for biological reasons, which is why trans people have always existed historically. If a transperson was somehow born alone on an island and never saw another person of the opposite sex they...

    Hard time following rules accidentally

    Does anyone have a hard time following rules? Not on purpose though, like they accidentally break rules a lot. I always end up breaking rules that I don't remember or I too impulsively do something that's against the rules before I think "oh wait I shouldn't do that". Like a lot of times I will...

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    Gender roles are a social construct but there is obviously a connection to gender identity and biology. While there aren't in a literal sense "male" and "female" brains there are noticeable trends and differences between the two. Most people have traits that can be found in the other sex but...

    Does having ASD make it tougher to learn drawing fundamentals?

    I am not 100% sure so I am not really claiming it does but I wouldn't be shocked. I have been drawing for literal YEARS and my abilities haven't really gotten any better at all. I thought they were until I looked at some art I made 5 years ago and its the exact same quality. Even after going...

    How Hormone Therapy Changes the Brain

    I think autistic people in general (cis and trans) tend to have an odd relationship with gender when compared to NT people. I think we tend to be more prone to having a more "gender neutral" personality than NT people [probably a mix of biology since our brains are wired differently + autistic...
