    This might be ridiculous, but I often wonder about autism and gender and if they’re connected in some way. I say that because I’m autistic and often think about how I don’t view myself as a man or have any attachment to gender. I think it’s something to do with gender being at least partially (almost entirely imo) a social construct and having trouble understanding that aspect of gender creates a kind of agender feeling for me.

    I didn’t quite understand this feeling until my late 30s and I’m not sure what it means, but like I gotta work tomorrow and shit so I just try to not think too hard about it ya know? I think if I had a better childhood with a support system and knew about the autism earlier, I might have spent more time thinking about gender in my youth
