For those who feel like they should have autism, are unsure about whether or not they are autistic, or just want to discuss autism in relation to transid.

It's a mix of general autistic things, and things I personally do as a cis-autistic. Autism presents very broadly so you'll have to navigate what works for you! Feel free to suggest more in the comments.

  • Develop a special interest and learn a lot about it! Tell everyone about it!
  • Use obscurer words in your every day vocab. Examples; greetings, mayhaps, overmorrow, variegate, betwixt, whence.
  • Stim! Examples; echolalia, repetitive movements, stim toys, music.
  • Interpret things literally, especially when it's coming from a stranger.
  • Plan everything!
  • Develop a more monotonous voice and/or flat/blunted affect.
  • Accentuate your quirks!

Other common traits of autism are sensory/processing issues, meltdowns, and social clashing.
