I've already seen people suggesting that this link exists, but I've always read it the other way around - that there are elevated rates of transgenderism along autistic people, which kinda makes sense to me. People on the spectrum ask themselves more questions about their own bodies and feelings and don't get easily satisfied by adhering to social norms as neurotypicals do.
- skohan 6y agoSome form of interrelationship would make sense right? It seems that a lot of gender is tied up in social signaling, which is less relevant to people on the spectrum. For instance, social signaling might regulate gender-non-conformance in a way which is felt less strongly to people on the spectrum.
