As we start the month of June, it is the beginning of so many things. It for one is the month of my birthday, segway into the unofficial start of summer and for those in the LGBT+ community, Pride Month. While over the past six or so years,

There is no doubt that indeed a great population of the autistic community also lies within the LGBTQ+ umbrella as well, it is just that I The majority of feelings and experiences that I realized that I experienced was when I was not my best self and often at night when I should have been sleeping, thus at points in the past when I was adhering to my medication regimen.

But even after being on my medication regimen and believing that I was on the autism spectrum, I still had feelings were I felt ‘different’ than what I was in addition to being autistic. I eventually realized that in my early years this was also the culprit of acting out in ways that were inappropriate and should never occur at a time when there cannot be any additional supports given to me by loved ones.

It is for my best interest to do so going forward so I can continue to protect myself and keep my best interests at heart. I am not going to go away; I will be a part of the LGBTQ+ community but in my very own isolated way.
