Trans and Autistic

Stories from Life at the Intersection

«Trans and Autistic: Stories from Life at the Intersection opens with the disability community maxim "Nothing About Us Without Us"... and more than lives up to its promise. In these ten chapters, authors Noah Adams and Bridget Liang bring the reader into ten autistic trans worlds that span the ordinary and the extraordinary. Refusing to play the part of the spectacle, what Adams and Liang offer is deceptively simple - a set of vital voices rarely heard on their own terms.»

This ground-breaking book foregrounds the voices of autistic trans people as they speak candidly about how their autism and gender identity intersects and the impact this has on their life.Drawing upon a wealth of interviews with transgender people on the autism spectrum, the book explores experiences of coming out, with self-discovery, healthcare, family, work, religion and community support, to help dispel common misunderstandings around gender identity and autism, whilst allowing autistic trans people to see their own neurodiverse experiences reflected in these interviews.
