I'm planning to get tested soon depending on how hard it is to get one. I asked the place that diagnosed my ADHD if they also test for adult ASD but I haven't gotten a response yet. I'm planning to also put together a large document on why I think I fit the criteria for future use.

I started asking this about myself months ago, but only this month have I really started becoming confident in what I believe I am. I definitely have a lot of self-consciousness, but I'm working on trusting myself (and with a dx I'll have full validation one day hopefully). Three people in my life are currently aware of my ASD, and each of them have been so very accepting and loving of my brain and my needs. All of them have really helped me become more confident in who I know I am.

I wanna start talking about how I realized this and what it means for me, as well as just stories as a kid where it was so obvious (how it was never noticed still baffles me). I might also post/reblog some special interest stuff as I feel that will help me with the current burnout I'm experiencing. I'll also be reblogging a lot of ASD stuff I relate to :)) thank you to everyone who is vocal here on tumblr but also just anywhere on the internet. Without people like you, I would've had a lot more trouble finding who I am. Thank you 💛

Thought I was girlflux but these past few weeks I've been noticing masculine feels in my gender too now and again (mostly at work), and the other day I really craved he/him (first time that happened! It was crazy to feel).

I'm also getting more comfy with my feminine body and whatnot (took me long enough lol, my new bf has really helped ☺️). I'm learning to be comfy with the fluctuations in my gender and to enjoy my body even when it doesn't fit my gender identity! I used to struggle more with dysphoria, so I'm proud of where I'm at in regards to liking my body separately from my gender. For now I feel that I identify best with genderflux!

I'm not super strict on what I want used for me, so she/her is chill (I'm used to it 👍), they/them is cool, he/him is one I crave now and again. Even the neopronouns fae/faer are, like, pretty cool. I've never felt like any pronouns perfectly fit me so no worries, just use what my vibe feels like or even she/her if you're used to them for me; the real point of this is to not have it as exclusively one set of pronouns anymore! Just thought I'd try a change and see how it feels :)

I've been so excited to finally experience my first pride month! Even though there aren't many pride marches and whatnot this year in my area due to COVID, I'm still gonna enjoy all of June!

This is SO SWEET!! TY 💛

my hair is quite a vibe rn and I'm enjoying it

I have a pretty great fashion sense

Lots of ppl seem to want to be my friend lately so I feel like I'm a very comfy & down-to-earth person ppl are interested in! That makes me feel really happy

My brain has been soup lately, but I've been doing my best to keep up with school and whatnot and I'm proud of myself :))

I was a caretaker for my mother for three months just as the year started, then I immediately got a full time job and moved out on my own!

It was a whirlwind for sure, but I'm a lot more settled now in my life which is wonderful.

I'm not gone! Still here and still living. Learning how to live on my own and manage full time work is a lot and it took me a lot of time.
