Gender Dysphoria: A Lookout For People With Autism

Feeling that your body does not mirror the gender you physically appear to be is what every autistic child having gender dysphoria feels. They should be watched over since most of them are likely depressed for "dysphoria" itself means restlessness and dissatisfaction.

According to an article on BBC News, the original definition of gender dysphoria is not happy with the sex you have now. It is the opposite, that if you are born as a girl but you're not happy with it and prefer to be a boy and vice versa.

According to Spectrum News, doctors can help diagnose and cure gender dysphoria in adolescents having autism with the use of the new set of medical regulations. These regulations, released on the 24th of October, suggests that for those adolescents having a dilemma with their identity be determined for autism and for those who have autism, they should be established by their gender.

If a person's biological sex and perceived gender didn't coincide, then we can say that he\she has gender dysphoria. Studies show that people with autism have higher than expected levels of deviation. Moreover, the pervasiveness of autism on these transsexuals is considered greater than the natural population.

Autism clinicians who observe many minors having gender concerns are found to be reassured to finally having a set of guidelines to notify their practice.

The Endocrine Society is an association where it centers on the hormone treatment with gender dysphoria. Even though the new guidelines confirm the individuals' rights, experts oppose on the best time of the treatment. For this method would create struggles for young people with autism, who feel that they need "the right hormones in their body" before living in the related gender.

Experts say that it takes longer time for a fixed gender quantity to progress in people with autism than the standard developing youth. As what a clinical fellow had said, that we should focus more on the ordinary course of individuals with autism first rather than the common ones.
