It has been noted there is an overlap between autism and gender non-conforming people (aka transgender ) and in many GICs ( gender identity clinics ) individuals are screened for autism and vice-versa. Knowing what makes you tick, or tock, helps the individual understand and be their best version of themselves. The LGBT forum is of course full of posters with non-hetero attractions. But the lines between gender and sexual attraction is also a bit fuzzy - because sometimes it takes time for a person to work out if their sexuality is guiding them towards their sense of gender.

So, to keep it simple
NT = neurotypical - you fit in with life generally
ND = Neurodiverse - you're on the autistic spectrum, or maybe are ADHD/bipolar
L,G,B,T = you know these already, no googling required here
Het = Heterosexual and you're only dropping by because you know how cool the rest of us are.
WTF = you don't understand the question

Today is autism visibility day - 2nd April. Thanks if you've voted but it's interesting to me that so few have.

Have a great Easter, wear a mask, enjoy your dick but don't be one :)
