Good work, thank you for making it.

Thank you

Most of the things applies to ASD guys as well.

that first picture of a girl isnt that bonnie wright the girl who plays ginny weasly in the harry potter movies?

are you saying she is an aspie???

Nice job, but I noticed it's heterocentric. Did you consider that? Perhaps it could be slightly rephrased so as not to exclude lesbian girls?

No, it just looks like her

I didn't intend to exclude lesbian girls. I was following the way the book I based it on was phrased. However, the book did have a paragraph about lesbian girls that I didn't include and should have.

I've really enjoyed your video. You did a good job on it.

That video reminds me of my own sexuality. Puberty and periods were such a shock to me, that I've started to identify with men. I wear the most unisex looking clothes that look like they're from the 60s, that I can find, because I like to keep people guessing about my gender, because it makes me feel secure. I don't want people to find out that I'm female, because they'll expect me to act like a woman, if they do find out.

Thank you so much for this........I knew the ins and outs of sexual maturation from a scientific perspective, but no clue just how frightening it would be........I did not menstruate until I turned 15 and looked like a 12 year old boy until that age, then EVERYTHINg happened all at once. I felt the biggest betrayal by my own body and spent months feeling like I was living in a traitor. I couldn't recognise myself.

And sex, well that was just as equally terrifying.......it took a very patient man to help me with that at the age of 18, and then I went on a rampage of wanton destruction for the next 7 years.

Thank you! I'm so glad the video is helpful. I really like Shana Nichols book. It is one of the few that really addresses autistic females well
