Hello.
I transitioned about 12 years ago from male to female. For what its worth my experience with HRT brought alot of emotions that were pretty uncontrollable. It was a completely new experience for me. I have been off HRT for around 5 years now and those emotional hits have disappeared |

It can be difficult to cope with finding out. my diagnosis came about from seeing a specialist to shut a social worker up about her thinking i had aspergers.
It backfired and apparently i do have it but yeah, i stil have alot of trouble dealing with that |

| A social worker kept suggesting aspergers and she found out there was apparently a specialist living near by with 20 years of experience so i ended up going along for an assessment mainly to go "see its not that". After going over my history, childhood, how i view people, my interests. He sat there ... |

| I have the opposite of this, it's one of the things that makes me dubious about whether I fit the Aspie profile or not. I sense other minds very well, obviously I can't read minds but I have a pretty keen sense of how the gears are turning. I perceive it as something almost like a visual symphony. ... |

| Why stick to a social norm if I don't need to? Because you can't smell your own scent unless it becomes really ripe and pungent.

It is a hard one for me to deal with. my interests havent changed since i was 16 and im 39 now. As for emotional maturity that too seems to of stagnated around 15/16.
So in my case yes it does make me immature. |
