Titre : The lived experience of gender dysphoria in autistic adults: An interpretative phenomenological analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kate COOPER, Auteur ; William MANDY, Auteur ; Catherine BUTLER, Auteur ; Ailsa RUSSELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.963-974 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder Autistic Disorder Female Gender Dysphoria/psychology Gender Identity Humans Infant, Newborn Male Transgender Persons/psychology autism spectrum disorders gender diversity gender dysphoria transgender healthcare transgender identities conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship and/or publication of this article. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic people are more likely to be transgender, which means having a gender identity different to one's sex assigned at birth. Some transgender people experience distress about their gender and sex assigned at birth not matching which is called gender dysphoria. Research has focused on finding out why autistic people are more likely to have gender dysphoria, and less on what the experience of gender dysphoria is like for autistic people. We interviewed 21 autistic adults about their experience of incongruence between their gender identity and sex assigned at birth, and any associated distress. We carefully read the transcripts of the interviews, focusing on how participants understood their experiences. We found a range of themes from the interviews. Participants were distressed because their bodies did not match their gender identities. Participants told us they had to work hard to understand themselves and who they were, and to manage having multiple different needs such as mental health needs. It was upsetting for participants to experience discrimination because of being autistic and/or transgender. Some participants said it was more difficult to get transgender healthcare as an autistic person. Some participants thought being autistic had helped them understand their gender identity more than non-autistic people. Other participants found it was challenging to be both autistic and transgender. For example, most participants wanted to change their bodies to match their gender identity, but some participants were nervous about making changes to themselves and their routine due to being autistic. We conclude that autism can in some ways be helpful and other ways contribute to challenges for transgender autistic people.
