'''Autigender''', or '''Autismgender''', is a [[neurogender]] which can only be understood in the context of being autistic or when one's autism greatly affects one's gender or how one experiences gender. Autigender is not autism as a gender, but rather is a gender that is so heavily influenced by autism that one's autism and one's experience of gender cannot be unlinked. There are many studies that show that autistic people are more likely to be [[transgender]]<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-014-0285-3</ref>. |

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 people generally struggle with, there are many people who may feel like their autism influences their experience, perception, or understanding of gender. |

Not all autistic people identify as autigender, only those whose gender is influenced by them being autistic. Autigender is an [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive gender]] as, obviously, non-autistic people cannot have a gender influenced by autism. |
