Can you explain what you mean by this?

The LGBTQIA+ folks are *different* to some extent. They're not cis-het. Their differences are part of their identity; their differences form a cause; they can band together and stand up against bullies.

The OP's son may be autistic, intelligent, shy, quirky, into obscure realms, whatever, just *different* than the norm in some way. But his difference doesn't have a flag, or a movement, or general acceptance and support. In fact, his difference may make him the target of bullying. So he may feel resentful that his difference, his *identity*, isn't validated, supported, and protected.
