ahh. how I love when people begin to acknowledge that correlation exists, and people aren't just hopping on a bizarre trend. -a non binary, autistic person, who is believed to have pots and eds

As an autistic person I recon it’s bc autist people are more likely to look for things about themselves

🇵🇸👾Jester👾🇵🇸 :
I think for autism and gender it partially has to do with not understanding what gender actually is- idk how to explain it but I read a brief introduction to feminist philosophy and at one point the author goes through and tries to define being a woman and it’s actually pretty difficult. I also think it’s like, you’re told “girls do this boys do that” and as an autistic person I always need to know why, and there’s not a good answer other than “because they’re girls and because they’re boys”

🍄🕷mothmumches🥩🧸 :
this is just a theory as an autistic individual, but my guess is because our review on the identity and gender spectrum is so so much more than just basing off what people have told us

I wrote papers on this! a common theory is that autistic people often either don't understand or don't care to conform to made up constructs like gender! they're social cues and rules that we either don't naturally tend to follow not fit in, or don't feel obligated to! - an Autistic Nonbinary masters student

I wonder why ehlers danlos syndrome seems to be a lot more common than Marfan syndrome when they’re pretty closely related

I don’t think autistic people are more likely to *be* trans I just think they’re more likely to do something about it and less likely to be stealth. We’re less encumbered by social expectation.

I think the link between autism and neurodivergency and being transgender has a lot to do about being able to have more abstract perspectives about gender.

also, Punk/Alt communities are generally a lot more accepting of minorities, hence a lot of minorities having funky outfits, hair, piercings & tattoos ♥️

i think also neurodivergent people often more able to express themselves in more creative ways eg piercings and dyed hair!!

Buggabug :
autistic people are partially more likely to be trans cause theyre more likely to not follow the (gender) norms expected of them. theyre more likely to question gender as a construct, and then to also identify differently. this is why being nonbinary is so much more common in autistic folk.

Literally sonic 🦔⚡️🌭 :
Also not to mention kids that are either queer, neroudivergent, poc, or disabled have a higher chance of facing adverse childhood events or trauma and that risk increases if someone falls into multiple of these categories and adverse childhood events or trauma can lead to the development of other physical, mental health problems, and can worsen already existing health problems

I also think some ppl with visible disabilities are more comfortable expressing individuality bc they already stand out.

sweet levi :
I think having certain disabilities can be already isolating so they'll be more likely to explore their gender identity as they'll either have time to recognise feelings. that or they are already isolated so are more likely to come out and be open about themselves

Indigo :
And we have dyed hair and piercings bc if ppl are gonna look at us weird for our mobility aids anyways, we might as well look cool too

✨🍒Cherry🍒✨ :
Also, when doctors generaly don't listen to you (saying everything, including your identity, is "all in your head") It's more likely for them to ignore something until It becomes a long term health issue

mavis 🇵🇸 :
if you're already introspective enough to realise your gender and advocate for yourself then you're probably more likely to notice disabilities too

I’m slightly annoyed cuz I made this connection so many years ago and scientists are just now starting to figure it out

It’s almost like gender is a set of arbitrary social rules… something that we Autistic folks purportedly struggle to follow. (From someone who has hEDS and is Autistic and is Trans who also has blue hair)

Josh Hutchersons left toe nail :
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard that majority of people with ASD are more likely to fall under the trans umbrella due to constantly feeling out of place in general, I.e feeling out of place when specified as their gender due to gender norms not really fitting them

Crane :
Also, for the dyed hair and piercings, a lot of disabled people, especially younger disabled people, will adopt a more creative/alternative style because it’s something they can control when their health is so tumultuous. And we can believe that people are looking at the bright hair or unusual clothes instead of the young person using a mobility aid
