The transgender and gender-diverse vs. cisgender effect sizes are equivalent to or larger than the autism vs. non-autism effect sizes and the cisgender male vs. cisgender female effect sizes in non-autistic individuals.
if i understand that right, whether you're trans is a better indicator of whether you have autistic traits than a) your assigned sex or b) whether you are diagnosed with autism
- simooooo 6y agoThat is quite a sentence
- yodelshady 6y agoThat doesn't necessarily surprise me, actually. I suspect a decent chunk of people here a) consider themselves to have autistic behavioural traits, b) don't see the value of a diagnosis. The term "diagnosis", to me at least, implies a disorder. Deciding what is a behavioural trait and what is a disorder is, at a guess, not robustly decidable.
