@joshsusser@autistics.life Yeah, aside from that, a lot of people on the spectrum are also queer, nonbinary, or just different in other ways. The challenges they face from their surroundings somehow reinforce each other.

@danimo@mastodon.social Oh yes. My pet theory is that being queer is just another kind of neurodivergence, and it sure looks like being ND in one way means it's more likely to be ND in other ways besides. That's kind of where my list came from. But yes, as someone who had to deal with being gay growing up, dealing with learning I'm autistic in my 50s felt very familiar.
