| My trans son was not officially diagnosised asperbergers until 14 (even though I knew from age 7) because he did well in school and everyone thought he was just shy. He came out as trans at 15. I had the same worries; couldn't it just be the ASD? He didn't follow the "typical" trans route, I discove... |

I think for parents of a child on the spectrum it is even harder since we don't know what is or is not spectrum related. In fact I came on this board to ask others for help in leaning t... |

| I think Cleveland Ohio and Buffalo NY have a pretty active trans groups. We are in northwest PA (so close) and while there are problems it is getting better all the time. Heck in the county next to us it is illegal to refuse someone access to bathrooms that match their presenting gender |

| techn0teen, I'm so sorry you are going through this. As a parent who's child came out as transgendered recently I hope this can help. It is a loss of what we knew (or thought we knew) to be true. (My child did not express anything like you did growing up. I had a girl who wore heels, make up and fus... |

So it was that "but as a girl you have to lile this and that, and to dislike this and that, and yo... |

| So my 15 year old (born) daughter has informed me she is transgendered and wants to become a male. While I am researching this in the trans world (and becoming much more educated) I'm also wondering if this may be an Aspergers thing? I know children on the spectrum often feel like they "don't fit in... |
