    Dude, exact same as when I found out I was ASD. I didn’t really know how important a label was until it explained so much and gave me a starting frame of reference to talk about with others.

    I think I knew this with my head and heart, but it was at this point when I knew it with my gut. It has, frankly, been exhilarating, and I hope it’s an accurate enough analogue for what my LGTBTQ+ family feel that I can better empathize with them.

    edit: sometimes words are hard. like at least 85% of the time.
