This information will be used for a prose piece I'm writing regarding neurodiverse relationships. And since I'm asking about identity, it's only fair I also share mine! I'm autistic, late-diagnosed in my 40s, cis woman, queer, white, with no romantic partner. Many of my experiences with relationships are described in my memoir, A Grotesque Animal.

Autistic folks: let's rant. Autism is increasingly an enemy to parents, and to the current administration. What are your feelings on the situation?
