I'll definitely keep reading all I can, because I want to understand more. And also, I was looking for an LGBT+ autism group too, so it's nice that we have a home somewhere. Thank you for the welcomes!

fun fact : I was also on Risperidone until 6 months ago when I switched to Aripiprazolo. It was the best medication I ever took, i had to switch due to my liver complications ( in the end it was my diet not Risperidone) I didn't know Risperidone was bad for your liver! 8O I kind of like it too, but...

I'm resistant to change, especially for illogical reasons. I was told this was my "rigidity" coming out. My family says I act like a senior citizen in that I'm set in my ways...but for me when I like something, or like something a certain way, I come to expect it. I am the same way with th...

I'm also bipolar and autistic, but I have "bipolar with psychotic features" instead of schizoaffective. At various times I wanted to get tested for autism but it wasn't until after my bipolar took over that I ended up really wanting to get tested for ASD. I feel like this is a really commo...

Just like you, I'm on an antipsychotic medication. I'm on Risperidone and found it helped. I talked to my temp therapist and he advised me it works for autistic people in a variety of ways but the main one is aggression. I was originally put on it to combat bipolar mania, but I've also noticed it sl...
