50-ish autistic trans woman; aspiring ladylike dyke. At least as feline as the profile pic implies.

Alleged software developer and occasional musician, former and possibly future infrastructure engineer, goth (ever and always, body and soul).

I miss crows. Crows are nice.

Profile picture: a charcoal sketch of a cat sitting on a tree-stump, looking away from the viewer.
The cat's head is tilted in a way that makes it look contemplative but, honestly, they probably just slipped a mental cog and now their brain is in some kind of phantom neutral.

One of the stereotypes with autistic people is that one is clumsy. Before I self-diagnosed I thought I'm not clumsy. Recently I've become very aware that, actually, I am. Not in relation to big things but dropping small things, knocking them over etc. I've just learned to react quick and often catch them before they hit the surface. If I'm tired, then things start to go wrong.

@LehtoriTuomo @actuallyautistic I had a similar realisation recently.

When I was a child, adults would often say something like "you've been in the wars, haven't you?"

As an adult, I'm pretty darn good at recovering and catching things, despite having very slow reflexes. I still walk into things all the time, though, and now that I'm on HRT... my poor developing boobs! It's a running gag in the house that I'm always finding new things to hit them with or catch them on.
