Did you know there is a significant and beautiful overlap between the autistic and gender-diverse communities? This insightful factsheet explores the connection with clarity and affirmation.

 

Ideal for autistic individuals, LGBTQ+ allies, educators, and healthcare professionals, this resource sheds light on key points, including:

 

  • Why autistic people are more likely to question rigid social norms and explore gender diversity.

  • The role of self-awareness and "unmasking" in embracing one's authentic gender identity.

  • A crucial clarification: Autism does not cause gender diversity, nor vice versa—they are two valid identities that can co-exist.

  • Framing this overlap not as a problem, but as a natural variation to be celebrated.
