I will say, autism is super common among trans folk, as is ADHD. There is a high rate of comorbidity between them.
Having said that, I do not believe that it is fair to assume a person who believes themselves trans to be mistaken based purely on a personal hypothetical anecdote.

And therefore be more willing to go through transition, instead of being more concerned with the impact the process has on your social standing, your friendships, your relationships. I genuinely wonder if the incidence rate of transgenderism amongst autistic folks is actual the real incidence rate in humanity, but the rest of us (I am mostly neurotypical, just ADHD, and cis-hetero) are more likely to repress any transgender thoughts or worries.
