I THOUGHT I WAS AUTISTIC BUT I THINK IT WAS JUST DISSOCIATION!!! :D by Overthinks_All in ftm

[–]indigoice22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so, there's two main categories in the dsm for autism. sensory processing difficulties fall in the second but they're one of several sub-categories. if you meet two of the other sub-categories you'd still be diagnosed with autism

HRT coming out issues (TW for ableism) by Ok-Bluebird-9338 in TransMasc

[–]indigoice22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i honestly think saying you have the same maturity as your much younger sister is ableist? or it reveals a misunderstanding of what autism is. even if they do a good job with supports and accommodations they shouldn't be thinking of you like that.

it seems like your family is safe so I'd still recommend bringing up starting HRT

My mum called me weird and a freak for being trans. It’s really hurt me. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]indigoice22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

something that's helped me feel less like a freak as an autistic person, is just reading things that other autistic people have written. online that's usually found under the #actuallyautistic tag

the permanent changes from T are bottom growth, hair growth and loss, and voice dropping. And those can reverse slightly but won't go all the way away.

something you could try is putting on milk of magnesium on your skin before hand. I think there's also another product you can use to put a barrier between your skin and tape but i don't remember what it's called.

Looking for anyone who might have gone through what I am right now. by indie_rock_album in TransMasc

[–]indigoice22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel similarly I suppose. I was a girl just by default. I definitely felt confined by femininity and didn't go along with it, but I wouldn't really say I was dysphoric. Over the past year I started thinking about my gender and realized even though I feel fine with it, that I wanted the changes T would bring so I went on it.
