Background Prior research has indicated a common overlap between autism traits and gender identity diversity, but studies including nonbinary/genderqueer (NBGQ) adults in clinical settings are lacking. This study therefore compared autism traits in transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) adults seeking gender-affirming medical treatment (GAMT) with autism traits in cisgender adults. It further assessed differences in autism traits among TGD subgroups, considering sex assigned at birth (comparing adults assigned male at birth (AMAB) and female at birth (AFAB)) and gender identity (comparing NBGQ adults with binary transgender and cisgender adults).
