I never thought i’d be starting a thread aimed at such a very specific demographic, but there do seem to be a few of us out there.
Anyway, I thought we could use this thread to talk about the interactions of being autistic and participating in the sex/gender debate.
I think it’s particularly relevant as a lot of the argument hinges on clarity (or obfuscation) of language - when many autistic people need clear and unambiguous language to be able to understand, process information and express our own points of view.
Credentials/about me: i’m 31, diagnosed with ASD (Aspergers presentation) last year, and awaiting an assessment for ADHD. I am female, bisexual and married to a man. I’m not a mother yet, although would like to be- and have found Mumsnet very welcoming regardless.
