As part of Autism Acceptance Month, I thought I'd give y'all a peek into what it's like to live day to day life as an autistic trans woman!! More than ever, we need stronger awareness, education and support, and I'm more than happy to do my part.

I also have a PATREON, and would love to have the opportunity to build this channel and community with you. Your support is the reason I'm here, so thank you.
Love ya. Solidarity. Alice. xo

Glad you've been processing all this stuff. It's such a relief when we figure ourselves out better. Great video!
I'm grateful to be in a space where I'm learning so much about myself too 😚 It'll be interesting seeing where the rest of the year leads...
Fellow autistic trans woman here! I love this and can relate!
Oh heyyyy!! It's nice to meet someone else in the fam 😊
This is me in every single sense. Thank you for formulating my reality so articulately!
My therapist said I may be autistic and I’ve been reevaluating my whole life AGAIN after doing it the first time when I realized I’m trans. Hearing others’ experiences w/autism, it sounded somewhat relatable. Hearing your experiences, it sounds deeply relatable. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much sharing this definitely relatable at least to me I was analyzing my autism quite a bit last year just to find out almost every single part of me mentally and physically is autistic
Ahhh thank YOU so much for the kind words 😚 It’s exciting when you finally begin to understand yourself on an intimate level, isn't it? Helps you feel more whole as a person.
I just walked out of a job today from severe anxiety, and I haven't been able to keep work like a "normal" person. the jobs are easy, it's all social problems. I try my best, I really need work, but I can't mention process things and can't function normally. I'm suspicious that I'm autistic, but in the past I always "masked" well and it's getting harder and harder to hold up that front. it's not that I'm lazy, I really really care about whatever I do, but I can't socially function. the amount of makeup and perfection I strive for every morning as a trans person, also feels like a component of masking, and masking and dysphoria intertwine. I'm severely passionate about music. this is my music artist channel I'm commenting on. and I rock my head at night, and tap a lot which I feel is stemming. I'm in a world of a lot of feelings right now. thank you for making this comforting video
I relate to everything in this video
There's a word that was said to me out of love when I was a kid that I came to hate, even though it took me a while to realize that I did: "challenges". My "challenges" set me apart, make my default relationship to the rest of humanity one of misunderstanding, and require me to work extra hard to compensate. They required me to hold back the essence of who I was for so long that to this day I feel hyper self-conscious if I suddenly start infodumping or stimming too openly, even if I'm in a safe environment to do so. But all that being said, I would not take back the thing that gave me these challenges for the world. I'd rather keep my own universe, and share it with the people who truly get me and love me.
Also: I want to reflect your parting message back at you in its entirety. You're just...radiant. Physically beautiful yes, but with a strength and passion and love that shines out of you. I feel like we'd be great friends if we knew each other IRL.
PS: on the off chance that audio textures can be a stim for you too, go check out "These Hopeful Machines" by BT. I dunno about you but complex glitch textures in music make my autistic brain SO. HAPPY. (It's why beatboxing is my stim :)
@@altairsjh Aahhhhh my gosh, you are so unbelievably kind 😭😭 Thank you!! It's amazing hearing all of your stories and really *seeing* how lovely and passionate this community is. Y'all have helped me to embrace myself that much more I'm forever grateful for you b/c of it.
Hi, I came here from questing refuge and I really appreciate your video. Please keep on going what you do. And it's fascinating to learn about the different autistic experiences; I am still deciding whether I am autistic or not - something I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to answer without a costly diagnosis. You're a great person:D Oh, a question (that you can answer in a video or a reply) is, what is your instinct when wanting to connect with other people? What do you think, vs what do you do and how others perceive your actions?
I'm still watching, but I don't want to forget to comment for the nonsensical algorithm gods. And also your hair is wonderful.
D'awwwww you're so sweet, thank you sm 🙈🖤
Annnnd now that I finished watching, I literally felt like I needed a checklist? Because I'm sitting here like "I do that. Oh, I do that. And that. And... that. YES, THAT. DEFINITELY THAT." (I was diagnosed with ADHD years ago and have zero access to useful mental health services where I live, so I don't know how much is overlap; I constantly keep listening to a lot of autistic people and noticing a lot of similarities, so it just makes me wonder. But damn, I just relate hard.)
@@nerdteacher Yeah, I hate that mental health resources in America are basically nonexistent, to the point where we have to rely on one another to understand ourselves. There's SO much comorbidity between autism, anxiety, ADHD, BPD etc. and it's baffling how few doctors or physicians seem to understand even the basics of things like that.
Thank goodness we all have one another!!
@@AllisonFM Yes! I'm so glad to know we have one another!
I love this and identify with it sooooo much as a 35 year old self-diagnosed autistic person. I feel like you could be my sister.
GOOD VID YES AGREED MOOD
Hahaha I says what needs to be said 😝 It’s really easy for me to be blunt and straightforward, which I LOVE.
Level2/medium support needs autistic, & non‐binary/aporagender queer, here!
Thank you for making this video!!!
Anytime!! 😊 Thanks so much for watching and sending good vibes!!
I am really starting to hate retail more and more
Same. I am dreading returning to that place tomorrow, but will hopefully be outta there soon 🤞
I am off tomorrow but gotta go back on Tuesday. I can't call out for 30days
4,000 years ago: "'Om' is the most sacred chant. Feel how it aligns your spine, relaxing you towards earth. This must be a true name of God."
Now: "Ew why do you make that sound in your throat whenever you're nervous?"
The headband is so cute! You’re so pretty! Keep on being you 💖
Hi i am a trans woman with autism as well, and I think that maybe if you're comfortable to of course put a flash warning just because some viewers subscribers or not may have epilisy or any disorder or mentall illness/uncomfortability woth that.- MUCH LOVE FROM YOUR AUTISTIC TRANS BRITISH GIRLIE MAYA ❤
I think people see me as too much? Coming on too strong always?
Ooooof, yeah, I've been read exactly the same way. Friends say I have a *very* strong personality and am VERY passionate about everything I talk about, which... yeah lol. Accurate.
Thank you, your thoughts and way to say them is good. "Hug"
I'd love to see the linked video. Could I ask for a link?
Yeah, absolutely!! Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/HqfScpE5oao/w-d-xo.html
This was an amazing video, I could totally relate to so much! Especially the part about textures, if I find a texture I like, I LOVE it! But I can't go vegan because I can't stand the texture/taste of most vegetables. Thanks for making this video!
Ahhhhh thanks so much for the positivity as always, Trekkie 😚 Also, if you wanna do a video or anything together for Autism Acceptance Month, let me know!! I'd love to do a few more autism related vids, and try to signal boost our cause.
@@AllisonFM Awesome, I'll message you on Signal.
I didn't know you were autistic like me, until i saw you on Ponderful!
@@kerycktotebag8164 Aw thank you. EJ and Luna as well as alice and Mika are all great creators and good to know you enjoy my content.
4:19 I identify with this so hard :)
This is such a good video
Practically every trans person I have met was on the spectrum. I'm very curious about why the link is so strong.
Shaking uncontrollably? Is that an autism thing? I've always described it as my body is anxious/panicking but my brain isn't
❤️
