I present symptomology, cultural/clinical implications, and advocacy ideas on the intersection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and trans/gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals. A meta-analysis found that the prevalence of ASD in TGNC is about 11%, which is 11x higher than the prevalence of ASD in the general population (1%).
