Autistic gay guy

With Pride Month in full swing, we catch up with Tom Moran, autistic man and a future trainee solicitor. Tom chatted to us about coming out, his identity as a gay autistic man, and dispelling autism stereotypes. They point to TV shows like "Atypical" and "The Good Doctor" or to the "socially awkward kid" your parents forced you to befriend. That's not me. As an autistic person, I've been able to "mask" as neurotypical — somebody who doesn't have atypical patterns of thoughts or behaviors.

When it comes to love, autistic people love just as neurotypicals do. The one thing that separates autistics from neurotypicals is many autistic people identify as asexual, which means they. Mortgage rates are still high, but home buyers can use other strategies to snag a lower rate. My Money is a new personal finance tool that provides a single, clear snapshot of your entire financial life — for free. These are the best high-yield savings accounts today.

“I knew I was gay before I knew I was autistic. I wish it had been the other way around,” said Julian, a year-old theater actor who identifies as a gay man with Asperger syndrome, diagnosed at age 12 before it was folded into the broader autism spectrum disorder. One day, Riley Smith learned from some former co-workers that an acquaintance had come out as transgender. Smith felt happy for the acquaintance, but she also felt something else. It led to me to ask myself increasingly difficult questions about who I was.

Autistic people are more likely to be transgender or gender nonconforming compared with non-autistic people, and findings from a recent autism registry study suggest that among autistic people able to self-report on a survey, up to 18% of men and 43% of women may be sexual minorities. I was born autistic, and, later in life, I woke up and realized I was never going to become a working man with a wife and kids to support. Growing up, I suppressed a lot of my identity. Being a member of two different minority communities is difficult to embrace.
