Autism trans 🧵: If your child is high functioning #autistic & just coming out as 'trans': 1. This is likely trauma based & autism based 2. They have been preyed upon or groomed because of their #autism What I mean by this is #autistic children teens or adults are socially

Naive & fullibe Due to their #autistic brain wiring. They do NOT 'see' or understand the bad 'intentions' of others. This gets them into all manner of troubles across the lifetime. They are highly vulnerable & need safeguarding due to their naivety #innocent #groomed #deceived

The way their brain is uniquely wired means they must have healthy responsible role models & mentors in their lives otherwise they are easily manipulated, led astray, taken advantage of, deceived, gaslit & worse. It does matter how high their cognitive IQ is #trauma #PTSD

Their social and emotional IQ is far less developed & they do not have the ability to make full Gillick informed consent to transition, in any capacity. The vast majority of #autistic #aspergers also have #ADHD or executive function issues. All people have an immature prefrontal

Cortex until minimum age 25 years and all human go through typical (or not) #psychological emotional, social & developmental stages. #Autistic individuals are socially & emotionally delayed due to their #autism #ADHD #trauma #aspergers #vulnerable #DoNoHarm #safeguarding

Autistic individuals also often have alexythymia, sensory processing issues, interoceptive issues, proprioceptive issues, a lack of a core sense of self & identity, strong emotional dysregulation, organisational, time management, planning ahead, time blindness, mind blindness

A lack of ability to imagine or foresee consequences, synaesthsia, tocophobia, high levels of anxiety, eating disorders, bullying, extremely high chances of sexual abuse versus general population, higher chances of trauma, learning disabilities, and more #abused #sexualabuse

Finally, #autistic people are also are very high risk of being manipulated as an autistic trait is to Take things literally, black-and-white thinking, believe what people tell them at face value and unquestioningly. They also as a function of their autism have a lack of skills

Boundaries, social skills challenges & are easily led astray. See why they are vulnerable to the gender propaganda? They know they are different, but it's rarely because they are 'trans'. Lord have mercy on the health professionals actively harming #autistic children & youth
