So we're not talking about 80% of kids on the autism spectrum having gender issues, but it's the I've seen studies anywhere from 5 to 10%, which is higher than what you'd expect in the in the
general population.
So in both populations, if you take gender clinics, more autistic kids are showing up more often than they should based on the percentage in in the community around them.
And if you look at the autistic community
more of those children, I think out of the recent data I saw was seven to ten percent of them will express
gender expansive behavior or identity.
So in in both groups, the other is popping up with
Two to three times, I think, is what they said, higher than expected prevalence for that group broadly in the culture.
So again, we're not talking eighty-ninety percent of folks, but we are talking statistically significant prevalence.
higher than expected crossover between gender and autism.
And the two main theories that that are positive about that are number one, again, that it has something to do with a com that science, the genetics and or androgen pregnancy related factors, for instance.
And then the other is that our wonderful kids on the autism spectrum
Just
Don't it's both protective and challenging for them that they don't read the social cues as well.
They don't bear the burden of all of the intensive messaging the same way.
And so even though that can be one of the things we worry about for kids on the autism spectrum because they need a lot of coaching and training to be able to notice what's happening around them and to receive the messages they're getting from the broader world.
In this particular case, there's thinking that that autistic kids feel more free to move toward their true felt sense of self because they're not they're not having the crushing weight of all of the expectations hit them the same way that it does for other kids who are much more attuned to the cueing they're getting in the environment.
Yes.
That that's part of the thinking.
That yep, that are that the kids on the autism spectrum just live in it.
