Review Transgender people with autism suffer poor healthcare and high rates of self-harm

The initial extensive investigation into the experiences of transgender individuals on the autism spectrum reveals that they tend to face persistent mental and physical health issues, with notably high instances of self-harming behaviors, as indicated by findings from the Autism Research Center at Cambridge University.
