Autix is an umbrella term and neurogender for any autistic person who feels like their gender is affected by their autism in some way. It changes based on the person who uses it, as one autix person could view their gender differently from another autistic person, even if they have the same gender. It can be used as its own gender ("I am autix") or as a modifier ("I am (an) autix nonbinary (person), as well as alongside other genders. It can be any alignment, can be fluid, flux, ect.
This gender is only for autistic people to use. Coined as an alternative to autigender.
