My mother will be having an asd assessment tomorrow. Hooray!

Since I am autistic, I am confident she is as well because of similar traits + similar at home test scores.

So I bring to you my idea. I want to create an autism diagnosis gift basket! What should I add? What kind of items would you like if you received one? I want to include a cake that says "Congrats on the autism."

Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.

I feel like I'm not allowed to be attracted to women because if I am, then I'm a creep. Society views women through a non consensual sexual lense, therefore if I am sexually attracted to a woman, I must be a creep. It also views women through the "male gaze" lense, therefore if I enjoy any part of that view, I'm part of the problem and should be ashamed of myself.

A therapist said I am allowed to have my own preferences for attraction, but I feel like some kind of pervert!

Has anyone else ever felt this way? Does it mean something specific? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. As if there is an answer to my problem and I just can't see it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with being a lesbian, it just feels like I'm not allowed to.
