British women with Aspergers uk connect group has shut down!

I was too late. It looked very good and supportive.

British Women & Non Binary Autistics - ASD, ASCs and Aspergers

OR

Women with Autism Aspergers UK Support Group

Thanks. Haven’t a clue what other people mean by ‘non binary’ though. 

I couldn’t cut and paste, so I tried to put it into words anew. New thread. 

Well I identify as a fox and they let me in, so I’m sure you’ll both be fine (slightly tongue in cheek humour) 

No worries! I’m used to threads going off on tangents in this forum!

Yes, it really belongs in a separate thread if others feel like it too. I will do so later unless you start a new thread, Nessie, as I am busy right now. (Coffee break)

This thread is about women supporting each other and what to do when a good supportive community shuts down. Sorry I sort of hijacked it with my comment, Kitsun.

Is there a way to start another thread using your comment here please?

I don’t think you’re the only one who feels this way and I, for one, would find it really helpful to discuss and explore this in more detail as I’ve never come across anyone who describes so closely how I feel in myself.

Thanks! Xx

Like you said, it's fine to just be you I identify as a woman, but I really don't feel it's important. I have a lot of tomboy traits and genuinely don't worry about gender stereotypes.

I think the group is just trying to say that they are open to biological females or those who identify as female. They’re trying to be inclusive. 

I’m anatomicaly female, think slightly male (I think) but am not bothered because emotionally I am like a child in that department!! 

I could just be a recycled tomboy of course. 

Plus i like maths and science etc. 

Now im guilty of stereotyping!! 

So i think I will just settle with being me and let people know that sexually I am just not bothered. Never was, never will be. 

It’s not easy living life in neutral when everyone seems to want me to fit a box.

I do appreciate it’s important for other people. I just cannot pretend to be what I’m not. Hence my confusion. I sort of feel non binary, but only because I feel pre pubescent.
