It's great you're looking into how to best support transgender autistic teens! Research shows self-advocacy is key for their well-being, helping with everything from mental health to quality of life.

A big part is helping them navigate gender expression in ways that work with any sensory sensitivities or social challenges they might experience. Coaching on things like style and pronouns can be really helpful, as can support for executive functioning to assist with planning and organization around gender identity.

Connecting them with peer communities and role models is also super beneficial. For more info, check out this article co-created by clinicians and trans autistic youth: https://innovationdistrict.chi....ldrensnational.org/c
