Loading... #top-section row-start col-md-7 About the event Autism, Gender & Sexuality Conference - Leeds In this brand new, one-day conference, we explore the relationships between autism, gender, and sexuality. Evidence suggests that there is a greater proportion of autistic people with gender dysphoria than among the general public. (Heylens G. et al, 2018) Also, that many autistic people identity as LGBTQI+ and that these identities may differ and fluctuate over a lifetime. Why is there a high prevalence of gender and sexual orientation diversity amongst autistic people? What specific challenges do autistic LGBTQI+ individuals face? How can autistic people best be supported in exploring their sexual and gender identity?
