Ι also use a wooden dining chair. I find the simplicity and hardness of the wood quite pleasant. I do use an adjustable height standing desk, so the main potential issue of a height mismatch between chair and table isn't a problem. One small issue with the chair is that the seat has a slight upward angle, as opposed to the downward angle recommended in the article. I add a buckwheat crescent pillow, which solves this and gives me the option of sitting in a wider variety of positions.

Oh, thanks for the clarification! I'm also wondering if I've become "more autistic" since transitioning (to male), but it's not clear to me how much of it would be due to hormonal changes and how much would be due to no longer needing to perform certain kinds of social/emotional upkeep.

I would be surprised if that carried over to trans women, i.e. people assigned male at birth, especially if most are diagnosed as children (and thus prior to transitioning, in most cases).

Adding another 2020 study that observes the autism / transgender overlap: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S175094671...

Interestingly enough, the correlation is observed to a greater extent with trans men (though not in all studies).
