Diego dating an autistic transmasc person?
[yuna note]: for this one i decided to use some more sources to reference from, and asked a friend irl for help towards characteristics that are common on the autistic spectrum, here’s my sources: one, two, three , four! hope this is alright, anon! this is perfect for trans visibility day. please don’t hesitate to point out any mistakes! much luv for you, anon!
- when you first come along with your feelings for diego, he is the one to instantly tell you that he was going to confess first - but uh, well. he sort of got side-tracked. and by side-tracked, he means that he was way too fucking nervous to try.
- he tells you that he’s never dated a guy before, but he mentions that somewhere down the line of liking girls - that he has definitely considered it, and can’t help stealing glances at far too handsome men often, you laugh, and tell him that’s pretty gay. he snorts and rolls his eyes with a grin, agreeing with you, before saying, “well, i’m dating you? so?” to which you reply, with full dramatic effect, a gasp included: “me? gay? never!” he calls you a little shit and pinches your cheek, but he quickly replaces his hand with his lips to kiss your cheek.
- when it comes to you deciding to talk to him about hrt, you explain everything from gender dysphoria to sex reassignment surgery and diego listens so quietly that you can’t help but avert your eyes a few times, and often repeat yourself, but he listens all the while. diego is so happy you told him, and he tells you he’s proud of you and who you have become and wants to support you in any way he can, as soon as you say the word. you tell him that his presence is enough.
- diego pays so much attention to you and everything you do, that he’s realised over time that you have a routine. when it comes to this routine, you have a certain time for certain things and if you don’t manage to do certain things during that time, you become extremely stressed, to which diego will comfort you for and attempt to help in whatever way he can.
- when it comes to forgetting things, he always manages to remind you. such as your keys to your apartment? he has them in his pocket. you forgot your lunch? he has it in a bag. your wallet? no worries, he has it. he always finds a way to compromise and help you out no matter what, and always reassures you that it’ll be fine.
- when it comes to binders and hrt, he saves up SO much to go towards it! he makes sure to remind you to take off you binder after wearing it for 8 to 10 hours, and makes sure to massage your shoulders with your permission. he makes your baths for you, and when you go shopping for bath bombs or any bathroom assortments, he’s sure to spoil you.
- he says “good morning handsome” each and every day to please your routine, and eventually, it became his very own. he respects your alone time, and will only give you affection if you feel comfortable with it, or if you ask for a kiss or two. hand-holding or any other small pieces of affection? he’ll give it to you. diego respects your privacy as much as you respect his.
- when it comes to people misgendering you, diego politely corrects them, as you are quite timid when it comes to that - not wanting to correct them in fear of getting yelled at, but diego doesn’t give a shit. he wants everyone to know how handsome his boyfriend is, when he tells you that - you chuckle, shaking your head.
- “what? what’re you laughing for?” he questions, and you smile. “nothing. i just love you.”
