Understanding the Interaction Between Neurodiversity and Gender

Research and clinical experience increasingly suggest that autism and gender diversity may co-occur more frequently than would be expected by chance.

Northern Gender Network includes clinicians with specialist expertise in both autism assessment and gender healthcare.
