Your article spoke to me. I discovered it thru our interaction on another article...

In my earliest memories, I didn't relate strongly to either a male or female identity.

I'm autistic. And tbh, thru early adulthood... pretty stereotypical for what my generation would have identified as a nerd. Including annoying voice.

I identify as male now. Largely habit I guess. And just barely. My impression is most male autists I've met are "not like the traditional male." Pretty much every female partner I've had was confused by my mixture of "nice" and autism... specifically as a male.
