My name is Ogechi and I was diagnosed with ASD pretty early after not being able to talk for five years.

I love cooking, baking, writing fanfiction, reading, singing, coding, designing, fairy tales/folklore, and history.

I've been questioning my sexuality for a few years now, and I would like some help in identifying what I might be.

Warm welcome to the site :)

reg youre questioning of youre gender only YOU can figure that one out (and if needed and you think this is beginning to get out of hand you need to contact a gender specialist and get a gender evaluation to see IF youre indeed a transsexual. Just DONT repeat DONT do anything rash (incl start to go on hormones ). ONE of the many Co morbid diagnosis to ASD is actually belive it or not gender dysphoria.

Thanks for replying.

It's just that I'm not questioning my gender (I'm pretty secure in that regard), but my sexuality. I came out as bisexual in 2018, but I've been wondering whether or not that might be.

A okey. Well then i would suggest you let this take the time you need to find out whether this feelings you have changed or remain the same. Other words follow youre hart and if things feels right then go for it. Regardless of the gender of said new flame. Nothing is right or wrong here its how YOU feel about it.

Welcome Ogechi, Hope You like it here and finding the answers to Your questions o_O
 
Hi Ogechi

Welcome to the Forums.
Have a read of older postings. many questions are brought up there
 
Hi and welcome. Some people come out as bi on the way to coming out as gay, I was bi for about 6 months but then I thought, nah, I m gay. But lots are bi. There's such a host of other sexualities understood nowadays, too, it's really a spectrum of course, so you don't have to 'choose' anything so much as working out how Sexuality is for you. Easier said than done of course.

I see myself as non binary gender too, and my Aspie logic can't quite make sense of how that works with being gay. The descriptive terms aren't always there, that we want. We muddle along...

I hope you enjoy it here and find plenty of useful ideas and discussions.

Welcome to the forum Ogechi. I like your profile picture. I also like writing and reading. :)
 
Welcome to the forums!

This is a very discussed area with many different answers.
Physical sexuality is one thing, but, how you feel inside is what counts.
There are even those who are asexual and consider themselves gender neutral.
I, myself, for one.
 
Hi there! Welcome to the Forum, its a great place and I for one feel very comfortable and safe here

regarding your Q: what has made you question what seemed clear in 2018?

That's something I've found for the first time here in this forum - people who are asexual. It's been a good thing to know about, too. I had heard the word before, but I had not connected with anyone who identified as.
