• Adolescents with autism are overrepresented in the youth transgender population, and some medical professionals attribute this to autism spectrum traits such as obsessive thinking, vulnerability to body image issues and a sense of social rejection and isolation during adolescence.
• Dr. Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist who began working with gender dysphoric children in the 1970s, said she believed most of the children who sought gender transitions had high-functioning autism and were being exploited by the medical industry.
• “When somebody happens to mention that, you know, they’re trans or they hear about trans kids and go online, even if all they do is say, ‘I wonder if I’m trans,’ a lot of these kids are automatically accepted. ‘Well, you must be trans if you’ve even thought about that.’ And for them, that is a very helpful reaction, because all of a sudden, they feel as though that explains all of the trouble all the way along,” Bradley told the DCNF.
Children with autism make up an outsized proportion of the transgender-identified population, and autism spectrum traits make them particularly vulnerable to thought patterns that can lead youth to pursue gender transitions, according to research and medical professionals.​
Transgender individuals are about three to six times more likely to be autistic than non-transgender people, research shows; the connection between transgenderism and autism has been a subject of interest for researchers since at least 2010, and the Gender Development Identity Service at Tavistock, the world’s largest pediatric gender clinic, came under fire in recent years over allegations that as many as 97.5% of its gender patients had autism. Dr. Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist and pioneer in treating gender dysphoria, told the DCNF that she now believes most pediatric gender patients are actually on the autism spectrum and are being exploited by medical professionals.​
“When we were seeing these kids from a very young age, we had kids who would come into the clinic, a little girl who thinks she’s a boy or vice versa. It wasn’t uncommon to find that one of them thought they were a dog or a cat or something else,” said Bradley, who chaired the DSM-IV Subcommittee on Gender Disorders.​
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is the official manual of the American Psychiatric Association, which is used for classifying and diagnosing mental disorders; Bradley led eight other doctors in establishing those guidelines in its 1994 edition.​
Bradley began treating children with gender dysphoria around 1975, and over the years she observed that many of the patients had the traits of high-functioning autism, she told the DCNF. People with autism tend to focus very intensely on their subjects of interest and have great difficulty letting go of something once they believe it’s true, both of which make autistic adolescents particularly susceptible to issues with their gender identity and body image, she said.​

I'm going out on a limb here but I bet most of the children and adults doing this are autistic in some form. Maybe not super easy to spot but like Bill Gates and others, somewhat autistic. These poor people including children get hooked on something and have a huge problem not letting it go. They get easily fixated and off comes the body parts. The sickness of those who push this is evil, period.
 
Not a surprise at all. We are failng the most vulnerable. It isn't just Canads it seems, many nations have their form of child abuse and exploitation...sick.
 
For those of us with regular, happy, talented kids ... all this autism, transgender, gender-fluid nonsense is actually pretty good.

Kids raised over-medicated, with gender issues grow up to be dysfunctional adults with no useful skills and no work ethic. Any jobs they do obtain will be as quota fillers for companies that love to virtue signal.

Our kids will grow up to be the leaders of tomorrow ... admittedly, they will be leading a bunch of basket cases, but they will still be the leaders.

I would have been diagnosed as A.D.D by todays teachers and probably medicated until a vegetable. Instead sports was the great energy release of youth.

I'm glad I won't be around to see much more of it.

Every person on this earth exists along a social spectrum, from socially inept to socially proficient. That this has always been the case is confirmed by the literature from every age where literature exists.

However, today, anyone deemed less or greater than socially conformist is immediately diagnosed with one or more of a plethora of "alphabet syndromes" and immediately offered medication.

They are either autistic, sexually abused, or mentally retarded.

No one healthy, normal, and mentally stable would act out in such a way.
 
At the same time doesn't it sadden you?

Actually, the idea that the world will fall to pieces when I'm not here to keep it together is kind of awesome ...

We Autistic people aint normal and so it very well could be linked at some level with one another. The papers I've read suggest that both are very much brainwiring and so having austism probably increases the odds of the other.

Why exactly do you believe we shouldn't get the treatment we need to have a quality of life?
