Lesbian Aspies Unite!

Post Reply New Topic

^Aww. Hugs:

^ It's okay, truly... I've been coping with my depressive bouts that stem from thinking about her too much better over the past year or so than I was, say, a year and a half to two or three years ago...

I know that this may seem so sudden and off-topic, but could you please PM me? I so far have no friends on this site.

^PM ahoy!

Not many people know that I'm lesbian. I don't talk much at all, anyway.

^I will talk if someone talks to me, but I hardly make conversation. Plus my voice is usually soft, mumbling, and husky, so it sometimes takes a bit to actually talk.

^^ I'm only "out" to people who are my friends (or who used to be, anyway), my psychologist (who is extremely supportive of me and will assist me in coming out to other people), and two of my teachers at school. I once attempted to come out to my mother when I was thirteen, yet she simply didn't believe me and thought that I was "too young" to have a grasp on as to what my sexual orientation is. It was very painful for me to hear that. I have a feeling that many other family members, when/if I ever come out to them, will pass remarks such as "you're too pretty to be gay!" and things of that nature.

^ I sometimes wonder if she doesn't want me to like girls because then I would further deviate from "normal." She has no problem with LGBT people overall-- I know I have at least one gay male and one lesbian older cousin who are quite some years ahead of me in life-- it's just that she doesn't want me to be queer. Being an Aspie, having practically no friends, and having rather odd interests for my age (I like some typical young adult things such as anime, creative writing, and art, but I also love psychology, anthropology, sociology, non-mainstream leftist politics, and foreign languages) all further me from that yardstick of "normal."

Can you please PM me, too? I just love finally having some lesbian Aspies who know what I'm going through!

'Normal' is overrated and non-existent. Everyone is special!

Most "normal" people tell me that I'm scary. I think they're downright terrifying.

One day, someday, somehow, I am going to come out, and prove to them that I am not an entirely-isolated, mute, living-under-a rock creature.

^You go, girl! I'm like a rock creature myself, except I'm fuzzy and cute.

Hey ladies, so I stumbled upon this website by accident but I'm really glad I did. I realized I was gay around the age of 11-12, and I got pissed off, because it just seemed like one more thing to make my life difficult. (Small country town) but I know that my sexuality has made me who I am today, it's given me a compassion, an empathy, and an open mind that I might otherwise not have had so let the pride flag wave ) just looking to connect with some women that are going through similar things. This is my first post, hope it was ok haha and semi-relevant

Never used this site before I hope this is the right way to reply to your post.
But yeah, I'm an aspie. And a lesbian. The only autists I've ever known have been guys. While we get on like a house on fire as friends, it would be nice to, y'know... Meet an aspie female. Let alone one who's into girls. I don't think it'll ever happen irl. In the meantime, it's nice to know I'm not the only anomaly out there. So hey guys.

I hope you don't mind my jumping into a girl's thread just to say I do hope us gay guys and girls can be best friends! There's definitely no reason for us to be intimidated by each other or feel awkward around each other.

Go girls! You all rock.
