Any gender critical autistics here?

I’ve NC for this (sorry I’m not brave enough not to yet)

I just wondered if there were any gender critical autistic women or groups I could connect with. From what I’ve witnessed, I’m in a minority within a minority.

Thanks.

That's me, hi! :) There's been a few threads on Mumsnet about autism and gender, there's a lot of us about. Many of us didn't absorb or fit in with gender stereotypes when we were kids, and still don't. The Facebook group is here too: www.facebook.com/groups/319309189461011/?ref=share

Thank you! I’ve sent a join request to that group

Hi, much loved DD1! I was going to point this lady in your direction, but I see OhHolyJesus is already on the case. Well done for all your campaigning efforts - I’m v proud of you.

Thanks proudly fellow autistic lady @Babdoc, and thank you for raising me to be happy with my own autistic gender nonconforming self! Grin Come join our group, at the moment we're writing to GIRES and autism organisations.

@Suffrajester Star

wow - yours such an eyeopening message

this is a fresh view point I've not come across in mainstream media

"we don't understand or absorb gender-normed behaviour. It's not because our bodies are wrong, it's because of autistic traits that are just perfectly natural for us"

Yes, I am. There's been another thread about this recently.

Schrödinger's autistic signing in.

Still waiting for the bloody assessment. So maybe autistic or not. If not I do a bloody good impression of being autistic!
