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 

My parents are old and don't believe in autism that isn't how it is stereotypically.  Even though every teacher said there might be something up with me, they just won't have it and they won't help! :( I have to mask my autistic traits AND mask my gender!!! (I do a really bad job, I get in trouble alot). It's so bogus man!!! Let me be free!!!

ive had my own family treat me as less than for being autistic, when i came out as trans its like they didnt even want me anymore. they miss their little girl but she has been replaced by an angry rabid dog who wants nothing more than to get away from them. 

im also told that im "faking my autism" bc i "dont act autistic enough" but other times my autism is "way too much!" and theyre all like "why cant you be normal?". masking isnt enough, unmasking isnt enough, WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT!!!
