Does it how persistent is this?

How many other shared uh

I mean, how many other specialized interests do they have?

How long have the other interests last?

I mean, there's a there's ways that we tease out what

likely to be related to the autism specifically and what is totally separate from it.

And I think it's natural, you know, parents sort of wonder, well, wait, because if this isn't just a fixation, then I'll feel more compelled to to do more and to find out what what specialists would say I should do to support my child in becoming more aligned with their gender.

But if it is going to be a fixation that he moves on from two years

From now, the way he has with every other fixation, then I'm not gonna take any steps in that direction, right?

So parents do need support from people who understand both autism and neurodiversity broadly and also gender identity development and what it looks like at different phases, because it does lend itself to different decision making.

So at the end of the day, that's really for me, that's as a mom, you know.

Like, okay, I do.

I wanted to know.

I did a ton of research.

Why does this happen?

How come this goes together?

Well, what's the best way to explain it?

And

You know, I also caution parents against that too, because we have such we're so talented at blaming ourselves and taking responsibility for things.
