The Intersection of Gender Dysphoria (GD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): A Case Series
Over the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in the co-occurrence of gender dysphoria (GD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This case series will examine five patients from our clinic population who present with both diagnoses. We will analyze differences and similarities among the cases, summarizing each patient's presentation trajectory. This will include the age of onset for both diagnoses, the clinical symptoms that led to the diagnosis, and current treatment responses. Our objective is to contribute to the existing literature on the intersection of these diagnoses.
