Next Live + Unfiltered: Autism, Identity, and the Search for Answers

Analyzing Episode 17 - Autism and Gender Dysphoria

We’re getting ready for our May Live + Unfiltered event, and we’re revisiting a crucial topic for anyone interested in gender dysphoria: autism and identity development.

This month, we’ll be analyzing one of our early episodes of GWL. In EP 17 - Autism and Gender Dysphoria, we discuss autism, rigid thinking, social difficulties, and of course, the statistically shocking overlap with gender identity issues (around 40% of trans-identified youth also have an autism diagnosis or notable autism traits).

Given the cultural noise around this issue lately — including public figures like RFK Jr. making highly controversial statements about the origins and nature of autism — it’s more important than ever to step back, take a wider lens, and really think about what’s happening to this generation.

(If you’re not yet a paid subscriber, you’ll need to upgrade to join the live chat and participate in this discussion.)

Some topics we’ll explore live:

• The intersection of autism traits and gender identity

• Why autistic youth may be more vulnerable to gender ideology

• How misunderstandings about autism mask deeper developmental needs

• Practical strategies for parents, clinicians, and advocates navigating this space

If you want to talk with us about how autism, attachment, and identity collide —

this is a conversation you can’t miss.
