@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.

@joshsusser@autistics.life @danimo@mastodon.social I figured out I'm autistic when I was in my 40s, and confirmed to myself I'm trans a few weeks ago (late 50s). Both resulted in looking back at my life and thinking, "Everything makes so much more sense now."
