Autism and gender identity

I just came across this article and it got me thinking...

https://www.aane.org/gendervague-intersection-autistic-trans-experiences/

I saw some stats somewhere a while ago, which show that quite a lot of people on the spectrum are trans or identify as non-binary/gender-fluid. Quite a lot of us are gender non-conforming, or we don't identify to our assigned gender role.

I'm a woman but I've been told many times that I "act like a bloke", and from my observations/in my opinion, NTs are much more gender-stereotyped and conform more to societal gender roles.

Thoughts?

  • Haha I know what you mean. I am sapiosexual and kinky, I would not be happy with average vanilla sex and a normal boring guy. I've been abused many times by so-called 'Doms' who didn't respect my boundaries. It's a risk of the game unfortunately. But yeah we do need something extra to keep us going/keep us interested. I tried to date normal men because they're safe and just ended up getting bored of them.

  • I'm not judging at all - I'm just mentioning trends I've noticed.      The problem is there's a lot of clever manipulators out the looking for fresh meat - vulnerable people can get in over their head very quickly.   They can be convinced into believing things that the user wants them to believe.
