LGBT Aspies + Autistic Spectrum

[She Promised You Cookies]

I was just thinking about this. I'm a lesbian Aspie, so there must be others like me out there somewhere. Searching "LGBT Aspergers", I found quite a few results talking about the problems that they have to face, being both queer and on the autistic spectrum.

I honestly haven't had that much trouble, but mainly because I haven't come out to anyone yet. With my Aspergers though, I have trouble socialising. So if I came out, it wouldn't make much of a difference. No-one would care that much, except people who are homophobic to begin with.

On another note, when I went to a lecture on girls with AS, it said that some girls have a higher risk of being bi- or a-sexual. I'm not sure if this is true or not.

And if there are any people on the autistic spectrum here, hi!

I think that's enough of what I wanted to say.

I don't have a diagnosis, but I'm probably somewhere on the spectrum. I have sensory integration issues and some problems socializing. I just don't have some of the "classical" symptoms like language delays or problems reading body language or understanding social cues. Mostly I just have a lot of sensory issues. I get overwhelmed easily. I'm very introverted. I don't like to go out and socialize much, which does make things hard. It's hard to connect with the LGBT community because I avoid a lot of the events like dances and parties.

I haven't been diagnosed, but alot of my family believe... no, are sure I have aspergers.

Its NOT easy for me being a lesbian. :/
When I told my parents I was bi several years back, they shoved the bible down my throat.

I'm a bisexual Aspie. Hi everyone biggrin

Yeah, and when you think about it, people love using words like "gay" and "retarded" to describe bad things. So it kinda sucks to be homosexual and have a mental disorder.

Sure, it's not easy, but we do our best to get on in life. c:
