Autism Spectrum Disorders and Transgenderism

Same here, but now I think I may be questioning my gender from spending to much time on this part of the forum...

 

I've always found myself to be a bit removed from the rest of the world socially. I'm pretty sure most people here have. And I've never really been sure if that was because of autism or transliness. I've always felt they were completely entwined, inexorably tied to one another; there used to be no "or" in that statement; I referred to them both as one and the same.

And what I've always wondered is if they are linked only as the sources of my awkward, rather unpleasant childhood, or if they were biologically linked, rather than purely philosophically.

Has anyone else felt that trangenderism and autism seemed as though they were parts of the same overarching problem?

 

Aspergers and trans (although very mildly with the first)
(May not be a good idea to post this thread as lbgt phobes will say it is a disorder)

 

Interesting... The rates of autism spectrum stuff is higher with bio guys than bio girls so hmmm. I personally am an aspie who is bio female but identifies as a agender person with male leanings. I was really unsure (and still am) about my identities. Also I did try to fit in (even to the point of acting homophobic not proud of that one...) So yes thats my two sense take as you will.

 

Well, it seems here there's a lot more bio females than bio males, which is exactly the opposite of our cisgender brethren. It's an interesting topic; I wish researchers were more interested.

 

My half-brother has severe autism, but I don't have any of the symptoms. Except for stimming, but that could be my adhd. Socially, I was a bit of an outcast growing up though and am pretty sure I have high testosterone levels.
