Realizing Intersectionality between Neurodiversity and Queerness

During a niche queer neurodiverse group therapy, Rosie learned that there is a significant overlap between neurodiverse individuals and the queer community. About 25% of queer people identify as autistic, highlighting the intersection between neurodiversity and queerness. Rosie identifies as bisexual and pansexual, but prefers pansexual as it encompasses attraction to all genders. She acknowledges her privilege in having a supportive cisgender husband who allows her to embrace her queer identity. Rosie also discusses the importance of queer spaces in her life and compares it to the significance that religious faith holds for some individuals.
