Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between gender minority stress, autistic social identification, and social inclusion in gender expansive adults seeking autism evaluations at a university psychology clinic. Anticipated results could aid in reducing autism misdiagnosis and improving access to gender-affirming treatment for members of the gender expansive population.
