It is a movie that mostly centers around the great lengths Simon has to go in order to keep his secret though it isn’t afraid of seeing where he makes many mistakes along the way. However, he finds solace in talking with another young person online that also is in a similar situation about not wanting to come out. The most notable is that he is gay though he hasn’t come out to his parents or any of his friends. Central to this is the performance Nick Robinson gives as Simon himself, a high school boy who has a lot of secrets. It is overflowing with heart and compassion as it injects many of the well-worn tropes of the genre with new life. Love, Simon is not a typical coming-of-age story.

Mental health disorders can only be diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional or doctor. Psycom believes assessments can be a valuable first step toward getting treatment. All too often people stop short of seeking help out of fear their concerns aren’t legitimate or severe enough to warrant professional intervention. Many adults who present with gender dysphoria will say that they believed for a long time prior to their diagnosis that “something felt different,” says Francisco J. Sánchez, PhD, an associate professor of educational, school, and counseling psychology at the University of Missouri. “But they chose not to tell anyone about it until they were around 40 or 50 years old,” he says.
“There used to be some sociocultural differences between those who were diagnosed in childhood and those who were diagnosed as middle-aged adults,” Sánchez adds. But these differences may be lessening now that there is greater awareness of and support for transgender issues.” “Some of these trends included white (non-Latino) patients and those attracted to women waiting until later in life to seek help. Sánchez notes that a small number of practitioners continue to believe that if a middle-aged man feels that he has gender dysphoria, it could actually be autogynephilia, which is a male’s propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. 2 However, this is a highly controversial concept that has been deemed harmful by several professional organizations.
