I need an ultimate answer please! Can someone help please?

Asked by KmiberDWZ (125points) December 27th, 2021

I have a classmate that told me that she is working on a story (outside of school) and one of the characters she had created is a boy with autism who is also effeminate, tomgirlish (basically a boy who likes girly things) and androgynous (but the boy still identifies himself as male and not a transgender male or anything and still keeps his pronouns in “he/him”). She told me that she had started to wonder if she might sound somewhat offensive about
the character and started to worry because she didn’t want to sound offensive or anything, so, the curiosity sparked in me and I wondered the same thing: is it or is not somewhat offensive to have a character with autism who is also effeminate, tomgirlish and androgynous?

If any knows please feel free to say so with all honesty, thank you!
