Autism

Oh yeah for sure. I am not saying if you're autistic you're definitively queer but it's just like I believe there's a high rate of LGBTQA+ members that are neurodivergent like off the cusp. Idk what your life is, but I just wanted to say I think it's kinda funny. But in general neurodivergent people don't understand the kinda superficial bull that a lot of society enforce. So eh! It's an uphill battle, but if you can figure out how to make it work you can be a huge innovator. Because you see and think differently, and can problem solve in ways that supesede normality. Kinda like how Betty Edwards tells you - you can flip a canvas upside down and learn how to draw that way and it shifts your perspective and changes the way you understand the very act. We're kinda like the automatic "flipping" of the canvas so to speak, because we understand the world in a very different way than the majority. Which if we can find a way to ground ourselves in the world, can be a very sought-after skill. But also know, there's bigots out the ass. I found a lot of places like it when you have a "hint of something interesting" but not when you come at them like a bird of paradise. Hahaha! Sounds like you've overcome a lot of the chaotic bits by forcing yourself through the system. But masking is fkin hard and it fucks us up good - take care of yourself! Big hugs, my brother! We got this =P!
