today I discovered the word autigender and my brain exploded. I saw how non binary went hand in hand with my dx and realization as autist. but today I saw how one is part of the other and intricately so.

thank you, people who organise useful gender words together.

There, one last come out this year.

differentiating having sensory (over) load spoons, verbalization spoons or just having no spoons. a typical miserable dilema is when I feel I can't deal with talking or verbalising but still having energy and craving human contact (but most ppl get weirded out by "let's hang out and do something which doesnt involve verbalization").
I get frustrated when I try to explain this to others and I hear "oh I also need me time". it is not about being alone. it is the opposite. I want to see people, but talking is impossible. so I end up being alone and lonely.

Comments welcome.
