Stigma

people asume im faking my autism and being trans, because i dont "look" it

People treat me like I'm some baby (my old aba therapist) and I get kind treated different like I'm not human and I'm a monster/animal or that I'm infantalized 

for me, my pediatrician just says 'lets wait a while and see how you feel then', treating it like a phase

For a while i thought i had no right to consider myself trans even tho I knew I wasn't cis. I didn't relate to my assigned gender, yet i didn't relate to the way trans people spoke about their experiences.. until i heard from nonbinary individuals and autistic trans people. Their stories felt so familiar to my own
