Anecdotally at my children's school there seems to be a few autistic children that have really entrenched views of the trans rights groups being correct and everyone having the right to self ID.
Could it be that gender dysphoria has a connection to neuro divergence? In a sense maybe the desire to change sex is a result of feeling socially isolated coupled with a desperation that changing sex would be an answer to the symptoms of autism?
It seems to me if gender dysphoria was treated from a neurological/psychological perspective there may be some positive outcomes. It could be that for instant the child simply has same sex attraction and therapy could help decouple the sexual attraction from feeling of being the wrong sex.
The problem currently with an affirmation only model is that vulnerable children are being pushed down a certain path without any psychological evaluation.
