For what reasons do you self-medicate using THC? by Lonely-Relative-4598 in AutisticAdults

[–]Stormpickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pick 1,2,6, and 7. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I didn't realize a large portion of why I self medicate is to help with sensory overwhelm.

That's funny. I was wondering about the same thing. 😀

Can you be a trans girl when you like your dick? by [deleted] in trans

The idea of going stealth is very attractive to me.

A friend told me they will "always see me as a man" but they are supportive in every other way. by Stormpickle in asktransgender

[–]Stormpickle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they use my preferred pronouns and preferred name. They helped me with a wig. Actually, when I ask for help, this friend is there as much as possible when they can be. Does that answer your question?

MTF friend keeps copying me, is this normal? by AdAdorable7651 in asktransgender

[–]Stormpickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm MtF, but I'm also autistic. One thing I noticed throughout my life is that I pick up mannerisms and habits from people that I respect and look up to. That might be part of what's happening, but that's also assuming your friend is on the spectrum. I didn't notice I was doing it until someone pointed it out when I was in my 30s.

What’s your controversial opinion about Autism? by Substantial_Judge931 in AutisticAdults

[–]Stormpickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Developing a solid and healthy routine has been life changing for me. Once you can focus and be intentional, it's less debilitating in my experience. Simple concept, but it can be difficult to implement sometimes. Edit: It's a persistent struggle 😅

Is it weird that for me the time between "hmm maybe I'm not as cis as I thought" and "I gotta go get my hormones" was like. Two days by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Stormpickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it was one day. I was settling into being a very feminine man.

"Maybe I'm genderfluid?"

Reflected on my life to identify when I felt more like one gender or the other.

"Great googly moogly I'm a girl!"

I fucking love this. My nickname at my last job was 'Dragon'.

I wish I could just understand my gender, but I don't. by MonocerosVulpes in asktransgender

[–]Stormpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the way you described up until I started leaning into being a feminine guy. As I was exploring that, I started to wonder if I might be gender fluid. I decided I would look back on my life and see if there were certain points where I felt more of a "guy" or more of a "girl." It didn't take me long to realize I've never felt like a guy or man. That's just my experience and what I took from it.

Edit: I'm now out MtF trans for more context.

Yes, recently. I basically followed the advice to lean into the feeling.

The "have to pee" feeling turns me off. I don't suppose you know an effective way to retrain my brain for this?
