got rid of "obviously" because nothing is ever obvious to everyone. Besides, I can certainly imagine an edge case where there's an autigender person who is allistic. Example: allistic person raised by autistic parents in an autistic community.

'''Autigender''', also known as '''autisgender''' or '''autismgender''', is a [[neurogender]] which can only be understood in the context of [[Neurodivergent|being autistic]], or when one's autism greatly affects one's gender and/or how one experiences gender.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Autigender-555595042 Autigender}}]</ref> Autigender is not autism as a gender, but rather describes an experience of gender that is so heavily influenced by being autistic that one's autistic identity and one's experience of gender cannot be unlinked.
Autigender can be a standalone gender, or it can be used in combination with another gender (e.g. auti[[Female|girl]], auti[[Male|boy]], auti[[Non-Binary|enby]], auti[[xenby]], etc) to show that one's experience of that gender is heavily influenced by being autistic.
Examples of how being autistic can influence gender:
* Gender is social construct created by allistics/
* Autistic
* Autistic
▲* Autistic people can face unqiue challenges when coming out/transitioning
One's gender can be influenced by one's autism in many ways. Since gender is a social construct created by allistics/neurotypicals, and social constructs are one thing that autistic
Not all autistic individuals identify as autigender, only those whose gender is influenced by them being autistic. Autigender is an [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive gender]] as allistic individuals cannot have a gender influenced by autism.
== History ==
Autigender was coined on or before August 25, 2014, by Tumblr users Autismgender and Esperancegirl via MOGAI-Archive.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://purrloinsucks.tumblr.com/post/95723823254/autisgender Auti(s)gender#}}]</ref>
== Flag ==
The original autigender flag was designed by Tumblr user Pride-Flags-for-Us as late as July 15, 2016. Green represents neurodivergence. The symbol represents the autism spectrum.
The alternative flag was designed by an anonymous Wiki user on November 15, 2020. The colors represent a spectrum, both for gender and for autism. The red, specifically, represents the #RedInstead movement, supporting autistic individuals, ''not'' Autism Speaks. The symbol represents the autism spectrum.
