Lesbian Aspies Unite!

Post Reply New Topic

Well, the title says all. I hope you would all feel comfortable enough to share stories, or just talk.
As for me, it took me a long time to realize that I was lesbian, even though for years and years I have always been attracted to girls and bishonen boys [pretty boys] in Anime, Manga, and Video Games.

Me~! ^^

I came out a couple years ago~. I started thinking I was gay when I was ten, and became sure of it when I was fourteen. I had a crush on my best friend (still do, actually).

For me it was also related to anime; I discovered yuri and basically became addicted to it. Lol. ^^

^Hi! I like your username.
I'm constantly frustrated that there are hardly any fantasy yuri manga out there [the closest I've found is Lyrical Nanoha, which I recommend whole-heartedly, especially since Nanoha and Fate raise a child together]. I almost feel like writing my own. I have, at least, written a fantasy novel in which most of the main cast are gay or lesbian.
Do you have a favourite yuri manga/anime?

Hullo! I am one, too. *unites* We're struck with the double-whammy of aspie and gay - a mix very difficult to find that makes life even more difficult than it would be if you were just one of those.

I came out when I was 16 to friends as bisexual. I'm not sure why, because a few years later I realised there's no way I like men like *that*. I didn't tell my mum until 2013 because she would always make these horrible comments about lesbians. She didn't speak to me for two weeks when she finally found out, but only because I waited so long to tell her. She's fine with the gay part! It's all good now, though.

I've recently come out of a long-term relationship that I thought would last forever, so naturally very heartbroken at the moment. Major girlfriend withdrawals.

I don't know any other gay people (men or women) which is a shame because relating to others can really help. The aspie part of me makes finding those friends very difficult.

Anyway, hi other rare people!

^Hi! Nice to meet you!
I'm glad that my mum is totally fine with me being lesbian. My dad is too, but I think it's going to take him awhile to accept that I'm in love with someone far away. Hopefully this summer will change that.

^Thank you. Is that your kitty?

I am lesbian, yet I have been asking for a kitty for years with no luck [yet, amusingly, my special someone has several cats and kittens at her house]. I hope I can get an Autism Support Cat soon.

^Oh, I've heard of Kashimashi. I've been meaning to check it out. Surreal is good; I like it!

All that I have to say is, is that it's refreshing to actually find a way to connect with other queer/lesbian Aspies! I never thought that I would ever be able to talk to any!

^Well, nice to meet you!

I eventually figured out that I was lesbian when I realized that I was staring admiringly at girls [especially girls with braids] when I was at school and out and about. For some reason I kept telling myself to stop it, as if I could supress my feelings.

^I have an extremely intense stare, even when I'm thinking about other things, staring off into space.

^^^ I've known that I liked girls since I was about ten years old-- I know, that seems young. However, it truly was not until I was about thirteen that I fell in love for the first time, with the same girl that, unfortunately, I have difficulty moving on from, even though I'm pretty sure that she doesn't like me at all... It's a really long, dark story...
