    My Thoughts as An Autistic Queer Person

    I feel like my Neurodivergency and Queerness is linked. My Queerness is Autistic, and my Autisticness is Queer. Because of this, I am going to add Autigender as a label to describe my gender ID. Autism strongly effects my gender identity, so my gender identity is Autistic. I am Autigender. Don't...

    Misunderstandings

    Up until last year, I thought people treated me poorly because I was different. I blamed them for making me feel worse. I tried hard to act normal but I wasn't perfect and still got criticized. Since I couldn't change how people treated me, I thought there was nothing I could do about it. The...

    MBTI (Meyers Briggs Personality)

    I kind of have this hypothesis going that auties are most likely to come up as INT- or INF- on a Meyers-Briggs assessment... I thought it might be kind of fun to find out if there's any truth to that! So, if you don't already know your MBTI personality type, you can take a free quiz on it...

    Autism & The Ability to Feel
