  • Autistic transgender/gender diverse individuals are more likely to have long-term mental and physical health conditions, including alarmingly high rates of self-harm, new research from the University of Cambridge suggests.

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the journal *Autism in Adulthood* which found that autistic individuals who are also transgender or gender-diverse experience poorer health outcomes and face significant barriers in accessing healthcare. The study, involving 675 participants from the United States, highlighted that these individuals often encounter discrimination, lack of understanding from healthcare providers, and inadequate healthcare services tailored to their needs. Key findings include higher rates of mental health issues, physical health problems, and a reluctance to seek medical care due to previous negative experiences or fear of discrimination. The research underscores the need for healthcare systems to become more inclusive and sensitive to the unique challenges faced by this demographic, advocating for better training for healthcare providers and the development of more inclusive health policies.
