Amerikansk forskning fortæller at 70% af børn og unge med autisme diagnose er ikke-heteroseksuelle.

Og hos npr.org skriver de: “Transgender and non-binary people are up to six times more likely to have autism”.

Oversat: “Det er op til seks gange mere sandsynligt at transkønnede og non-binære personer også er bærer af en autisme diagnose.”

Og der forskes altså internationalt på fulde drøn for at undersøge hvordan samfundet og pågældendes lande kan imødekomme denne gruppe af mennesker.

Npr.org skriver ydermere: 

“Females on the spectrum seem to have more testosterone and masculine features on their faces. On the other hand, males on the autism spectrum – they have more feminine features.

And clinicians have noticed that males with autism can have a high-pitched voice. Fung’s research also shows that the brains of autistic men and autistic women are different. The part of the brain responsible for sensory and motor functions may hold the key to this sex difference. Eventually, neuroscience could help explain why people with autism are more likely to question their sex assigned at birth. There is a clear overlap between these groups, but a lot more research is needed to understand the roots of what could be at play.”

Der ér altså noget der tyder på at vi snart ved mere, og indtil da gør det mig glad og tryg at vide at der i hele verden bliver taget hånd om denne gruppe af børn og unge, og deres livssituationer.
