I have found that many of the transgender FTM have later found themselves to be diagnosed aspie. Does anyone feel like this? I have a teenager who does,

As an FtM I'm not female...
Not even legaly anymore.

But to answer your question: I was first dx with HFA and afterwards with FtM, leding to the fact that I had it a bit more complicated to transition.

abcde has a teenage daughter that is diagnosed as AS, and wants to transition to be male, so she is trying to find someone who would help her understand what to do with her daughter. She might not have very good English language skills as she seems to keep her responses short. She is on "Susan's TG Forum" asking the same questions.

She is worried that AS might be making her daughter think that she is a FTM trans person. I think she wants to know what someone who has gone through the AS-FTM experience would recommend doing in this situation to help her determine that her daughter is trans, and not just confused.

She is looking for specific information about the doctors I think. Information about how to find the right doctor or what the doctor should do to make the above determination.

I understand all that and I just wrote my own feeling that I've problems writing here because this topic is for "femals", not more and not less.
