Difficulty socializing on T?

Advice

I'm transmasc, and honestly considering going down on my dose. As of my last blood test, I'm sitting at 14 micrograms (or whatever the measurement is). I started about 4 months ago.

I've been trying to figure out if I'm autistic or have ADHD or if it's just social anxiety...and lately it seems to be getting much worse. I find I'm really sensitive, yet struggling to understand whether others are joking or not. I don't know if it's hormonal, or if it's social hangover from a confusing friendship. Did anyone else notice this?

Not to mention trying to navigate my heightened libido...the burden only lifts after I have an entire day to dedicate to it. And two days later, it's back.

this sounds like autism tbh, can u think about life before T and any signs like this? keep in mind that you might have masked in the past so it might be a little difficult. might not have masked tho! hope u can find answers :)

If I am, I definitely masked. I'm wondering if T is just making masking harder

it's definitely possible! I realized I was autistic when I had my first meltdown and I literally couldn't mask anymore, mental changes from T could definitely involuntarily take ur mask down too. I'd say do lots of research and look into ur past, people shit on Tik Tok but there's actually a lot of very good info about autism on it!
