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 being autistic influences their experience, perception, or understanding of gender. There are many studies that show that autistic people are more likely to be transgender.[1] Autistic people may also face unique challenges in coming out and transitioning. Autigender is a way to express this and to find others with similar gender experiences.
