anOAKeye<p>I woke up like this.

Copy it into a word processor or print it off and highlight all the ones you see in yourself. I did that, and got my ex to highlight what he saw in me. Before that I did used to doubt, but seeing that made me realise that I do have a lot of autistic traits (already got fobbed off once when trying for a diagnosis years ago, so I'm trying again).</p><p>Mine: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@SilverArrows/113996673046166222" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.social/@SilverArrows/</span><span class="invisible">113996673046166222</span></a></p><p>There's also the raads-r test and a few other good ones on Embrace Autism, and idrlabs.com has a few that give you a cool pie chart. I find the AQ ones to be meh, the questions are too open for interpretation, but my GP required it before he could refer me.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/diagnosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diagnosis</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergence</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></p>
Mx Verda<p>What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? (Download and archive this video.) </p><p>A hormone is a chemical messenger made by your body to send signals to some or all body cells. Some hormones are made in other bodies or through chemical processes, like other medications. </p><p>HRT is a medical treatment for certain conditions, including menopause for some people, or precocious puberty for others. <br>(Mostly) Older men and women also use it to affirm their gender experiences. </p><p>HRT has certain side effects on your body. You may find these desirable or unpleasant. <br>Any medical intervention can have therapeutic effects and side effects. Different people experience different outcomes. </p><p>Do you want or need to biohack your hormone levels to affect your body?<br>Please learn more from your GP, family doctor, primary care provider, or another trusted clinician with access to your personal medical records. </p><p>Some of the waiting lists can be quite long, or involve more steps than you may expect. So ask early, please! </p><p>copy of links in video description: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/113876807351799423" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/1138768</span><span class="invisible">07351799423</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nebula.tv/videos/lilyalexandre-diy-hormone-therapy-everything-i-can-legally-tell-you/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nebula.tv/videos/lilyalexandre</span><span class="invisible">-diy-hormone-therapy-everything-i-can-legally-tell-you/</span></a> </p><p>from the vid: gender affirming care is suicide prevention.
