I am still without a formal diagnosis, though I have an informal "pre-assessment".
I've had Gender Dysphoria thoughts for over 20 years. They sort of come and go in waves, except they're not so much dysphoric about my current gender, as they are a wanting to become the opposite gender.
I need to work out where these feelings come from. With the fact that I do indeed appear to have a pre-assessment informal diagnosis of Aspergers, I need to work out whether this fascination with gender identity is just a special interest/obsession, or whether it is genuine.
Unfortunately I don't think a lot of gender therapists are in the best position to work that one out.

Is this because ASD people tend to have an open mind and are willing to explore what feels right or are more able to feel what is wrong?
I am finding the transgender half way measure that is Non Binary is a very good space for exploring different states for stripped of gender and all that entails, one can just feel.
