Queerly Autistic

Queerly Autistic is a community and perspective that recognizes the overlapping experiences of individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and are also on the autism spectrum. It highlights how neurodivergence and gender or sexual identities can intersect, influencing how people experience themselves and relate to others. Many autistic people find that their autism impacts their understanding of social cues, sensory processing, and identity exploration. The term emphasizes the importance of understanding these intersecting identities without stigma, promoting acceptance, inclusion, and recognition of the unique experiences faced by queer autistic individuals.
