Autism Society of America

Autism Society of America Updated Link to the Study: http://www.autism-society.org/news/autism-society-of-americas-statement-on-administrations-possible-proposal-to-define-gender/ The Autism Society of America is extremely concerned about the Administration’s possible proposal to narrowly define gender as first reported in the New York Times on October 21. The definition is integral to national civil rights protections as well as access to federal programs and services and would go against the Autism Society's national position on human rights. There are research studies that suggest a link between gender diversity and autism. One such study found that participants on the autism spectrum were 7.59 times more likely to express gender variance. We want to assure youth and adults on the autism spectrum and those on the gender identity spectrum that we have their backs. No one should be discriminated against for being true to themselves. It is unclear at this time what programs and services might be denied to individuals based on gender discrimination if the actual proposal was implemented. We believe attempts to rush this kind of policy change without input from the medical profession, scientists, and, most importantly, those directly affected by such a decision, is inappropriate. The Autism Society of America urges the Administration to abandon any efforts to change the definition of gender.
