Trans and autistic?

I feel like I have been masking my entire life until now. I’m not diagnosed and with everything else that is happening right now it will wait a bit longer. 
I identify as a transgender man, queer (have had relationships with both sexes) and now am coming to terms with autism as well.  I’ve had to hide my identity, feelings and emotions since I was a child, mostly because I have had issues with my Dad since a teenager when I initially came out as lesbian. I’m feeling very angry at the moment which isn’t helped by my testosterone treatment which I have just started. Can anyone relate to this? Thank you

    I'm afab non-binary and not yet sure how much I have/possibly still mask. I don't fit society's expectations/misconceptions of what an autistic person 'looks like' though, and had to keep my gender and sexuality from my family for several years.

    You're not alone - living in these intersections can be complex, but if you find the right people it can also be really beautiful. Good luck on the road - sounds like you're dealing with a lot and I hope you find what you're looking for in this community.
