I feel like it’s a bit of a long shot. I could see how certain things like being depressed could contribute to being withdrawn and lead to a lack of social skills.

I feel like my sister was misdiagnosed because I tend to be the voice of compassion when we talk about issues related to people with autism.

And of course there’s a correlation between having autism and being trans.

    No, not really. Autism is pretty distinctive, there’s far more signs to spot than being quiet and awkward.
