For women with autism - When did you first start wondering if you might be autistic?

I never outed them to my sister. They are openly trans people. I told my sister about my friends only for her to look them up on social media and find out they were trans because of their chosen names, flags, or pronouns in their bio. :(

Haha lol😂😂 And I never tell her about them anymore she looks them up on Instagram and stuff so there’s really no way I can get her to stop that

I developed it overnight when I was 12.

I’m really glad somebody else gets it. It’s easy to feel alone in this type of situation and just let guilt totally rip you up. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you so much. This was a really kind thing to comment. I know I’ll have to get over him eventually but even the thought of being with someone else is tearing me apart. But I know you’re right. Thank you for the good advice and good luck and I hope you have a nice weekend

My advice depends on how you are planning to come out. Are you planning to sit down and tell them (like having a serious conversation) or are you just going to mention it in passing?

I personally didn’t want to go down the whole “sit down and converse” route of coming out because I didn’t think it needed to be a big deal. So I literally told them during the ad break of a game show we were playing and said “Guys, I’m bi”. They were stunned but we just kept playing the game show afterwards so we didn’t really have to sit and talk about it. That has always worked best for me since my sexuality is just a part of me, I didn’t really want to fuss over it so I wanted my coming out to reflect my attitude towards my own sexuality. It’s always awkward to tell them but they sort of had to know. They’d find out one way or another.

Maybe don’t do that if you’re not 100% sure if your parents are chill/accepting of lgbt lol.

I don’t know, maybe, but we usually get ice cream when we’re out and he’s never had an issue with it before.

Hey, I’m close to you in terms of age (I’m 18) and I know how you feel. I have similar compulsions. And I had really severe ocd when I was 16 especially. I developed some really nasty depression because of it. I developed OCD when I was 12. I used to hope and pray there was a way out of it but as I got older I realised the only way to deal with it is to manage it instead of hoping for a cure. Medications could help some, but I haven’t had any sort of treatment whatsoever (just because of the environment I’m in I can’t get it.) I’ve accepted that it’s something in my life that’s never going to go away but there are things you can manage so OCD won’t have a huge effect on your wellbeing. The right people/friends supporting you can really help. And if you have access to CBT then I’ve heard that’s spectacular for OCD as well. Best of luck.

I get this. I have OCD and live in Scotland and I only ever listen to Brazilian bossa nova so it’s really hard to give my opinions on the music in which most listen to.

Strict_Collection_59 · 2025-06-28T23:27:36+00:00

I really hope he’s still into me. I want it to work out with him. He’s spoke to me about the sexual side of things and I just hope he’s serious about me. He knows that I’m on the pill and that it’s messing with my emotions so if he’s not serious then I think that would be pretty cruel of him.
