Description

Within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), there is an overrepresentation of gender-dysphoria, but very little research has been done on the intersection of transgender identities and ASD. The particular needs of children who are transgender and diagnosed with ASD has not been explored, leaving this population at risk. This research proposal, completed as part of LEND's LOI requirement, aims to shed light on how social transitioning impacts transgender children with ASD.
