[dewline]

I lived with epilepsy for a few years as a child and teenager. Interesting to see someone linking that to autism and/or ADHDivergence...?

I've seen the link made more than once- autism and adhd also gets linked to being trans although I am neither as ar as I know.

Since we can only count trans people who’ve come out, I’ve always wondered if any statistical correlation with being on the spectrum can be explained as “if society thinks I’m weird anyway, why bother hiding anything about myself?”

I transitioned in my mid teens in the seventies and ended up working at one point in my teaching career as education manager for an autism charity and that was where I became aware of the level of gender issues experienced by autistic people.

Interesting. Did not (know/remember hearing of) this connection.
