Some trans and/or nonbinary (TNB) people are autistic, and some autistic people are TNB.
This study looked at mental health outcomes in people who are both TNB and autistic. Depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress scores were collected. Factors which might have influenced mental health were also collected. Specifically, these factors were demographics, gender minority stress and resilience, autistic minority stress and resilience, and camouflaging.
