| I'd recommend you stop watching alt-right YouTube channels. They hate LGBT people so they have a vested interest in making the community look bad. They have a long track record for manipulating videos dishonestly (James O'Keefe being the most obvious example of this). |

Y is the sex-determining chromosome in many species, since it is the presence or absence of Y that determines the male or female sex of of... |

| I'm gay and I'm ashamed to admit that noticably trans people make me uncomfortable. My entire life has been built with the framework of there being two genders, so gender nonbinary people and trans people who haven't undergone or who don't want to undergo gender reassignment surgery attack that fram... |

| I'm posting this to kind of follow up on things. The day after I posted all this stuff, I was really embarrassed and asked for it to be deleted. I later talked to one of my housemates and she told me she didn't think I had autism, and I trust her. I no longer think I might be autistic. But really, w... |

| Some months back we were pointed to some published research on people who did their own investigations as to whether they were on the spectrum. They were found to be more accurate than might have been expected. TOny Attwood has expressed the opinion that people who have assessed themselves have oft... |

| I'm not sure whether I'm on the spectrum, but I'll share anyway. When I first started drinking, it was one of the first times I felt normal, and accepted in social situations. In fact, I felt downright popular. Getting shitfaced was an essential part of hanging out with friends. It was always a few ... |

Thanks for the link.
I scored a 34 on the AQ, 19 on the EQ, and 42 on the FQ, which according to them, are more common among people with ASD than neurotypicals.
I'm skeptical of self-diagnosis but this will provide me with a starting point for discussing with my therapist. I appreciate it. |

| I am also seeing a therapist. Recognizing the signs of autism would be something they're trained in, right? Or would I have to explicitly tell her that I'm wondering if I might fall on the spectrum? |
