hi, i'm a 17 year old AFAB who usually identifies as female but sometimes feels non-binary. online, i go by pronouns she/they.
i was told I was autistic initially by a mental health professional in June. it has been mentioned by another last month & now this month by another who is now trying to.look into.it.
I identify with a lot of ASD traits & a lot makes sense now.
it does bother me that ive went 17 years w/o anyone knowing though
Welcome!
I was diagnosed when I was 6 I was early. But as aidie said it looks like people get diagnosed at different ages.
hii! yes- it's more common for AFABs to be missed till later
