Hello! Good luck studying. Why is it that so many trans folks are autistic & vice versa? You'll like it here; most everybody's really quite interesting.

Welcome! There are lots of great people here. I am new to the aspie world too and I have disvovered that aspies, at least those on this site, seem to realky enjoy self discovery. That us great for those of us just figuring out ourselves as we can explore our questions freely.

Hey, our main is also trans (ftm) and Marvel is one of their hyperfixations that they have had for a very long time. They have alternate personalities due to dissociation from past severe trauma that help them out with things due to being in not such a good life situation at the moment. Some of those alters are from that universe. They find it hard to write anything not assigned to them or that they have not already experienced due to social anxiety, as they do have some experience with Journalism classes since they took some when they were in high school and with creative writing but that was far harder. We hope you have a good time on the site, and feel free to send us a message if you ever have any questions as they've been diagnosed for a while.

Most people aren't so them and myself don't mind that, thanks! I'm primarily an addicted reader due to ocd tendencies with a slight interest in writing but some of them were writers in their original forms because they used it as a coping mechanism. Also Ken hopes you won't turn out to have too much of a life like he did due to an unfortunate circumstance, his old life was in a horror anime, which was rather painful so that's why he's one of my primary fronters due to how intense my chronic pain is.
