I really appreciate this I’ve never seen anyone discuss talk about what it’s like to have autism and be part of the lgbt community

very late here, but WHO??

[@Reed5016]

As an autistic person, I can confirm that I over analyze everything. Every time I think a thought, I investigate everything about it. Which leads me to having an incredible understanding of myself and the way I feel, including my queerness. So, to say I don’t understand myself due to autism is the most absurd nonsense ever.
