I don't drive because of depth perception issues and anxiety and probably never will. It's completely possible to find a job where you don't nee... |

| It sounds like your child is either transgender or gender nonconforming, though gender nonconforming children don't tend to have the extreme emotions about being pushed into the gender assigned to them at birth that trans kids do. Only time will tell but as an early 20's transgender aspie, it sounds... |

| I'm also genderqueer, bisexual and autistic. In my limited dating experience I've connected the best with bisexual women and bisexual nonbinary people, none of whom have been neurotypical but none who have been autistic. I've found that a lot of people on dating sites like okcupid aren't neurotypica... |

| the majority of my friends are LGBTQ+ or mentally ill or physically disabled or autistic or a combination of those because those are all aspects of my identity and I become friends more easily with people who are those things because there is usually more understanding there. |

| I know that some people who work with autistic kids are on here so you could post on here, I would try to find other forums that are more focused on people who work with autistic kids though. |

| It depends on what level you want to study them. I'm currently doing a project about autism activism for my senior thesis and I had to get approved by school's institutional review board before starting, but if you're unaffiliated with an academic institution I'm pretty sure you can just put a surve... |

| I forgot to check back on this posting. Apologies to anyone who had technical trouble with it, I think there was some sort of general malfunction last week because a few people had issues but were able to take it later on. If you are the partner of an autistic person I don't have a survey that you q... |
