JONES, Auteur ; Sally WHEELWRIGHT, Auteur ; Krista FARRELL, Auteur ; Emma MARTIN, Auteur ; Richard GREEN, Auteur ; Domenico DI CEGLIE, Auteur ; Simon BARON-COHEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.301-306 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Conditions  Gender Identity Disorder  Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ)  Co-occurrence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The ‘extreme male brain’ theory suggests females with Autism Spectrum Conditions are hyper-masculinized in certain aspects of behavior. We predicted that females with Gender Identity Disorder (who are masculinized) would have elevated Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) scores. AQ scores from five groups were compared: (1) n = 61 transmen (female-to-male transsexual people); (2) n = 198 transwomen (male-to-female transsexual people); (3) n = 76 typical males; (4) n = 98 typical females; and (5) n = 125 individuals with Asperger Syndrome (AS). Transmen had a higher mean AQ than typical females, typical males and transwomen, but lower than individuals with AS. Transmen have more autistic traits and may have had difficulty socializing with female peers and thus found it easier to identify with male peer groups.
