As a result of the Cass Review, all children presenting as transgender will be assessed for autism and same-sex attraction. Excellent news all round. Looks like they're going to stop sterilising autistic children and training away the gay.

So proud to be a terf of terf island. We changed this. We saved some kids, at least, a lifetime of medication and isolation.

Autism yes, although good luck with that given how many kids wait years for so much as an assessment. But testimg for same sex attraction just sounds really off and intrusive.

Excellent idea and long overdue as clinicians have recognised this overlap for many, many years.

Wow!
The tide really is turning. Just hope they don't have years to wait for appointments.

That is such good news!

How can we get it to be made a consideration for YP who are now adults but still grew up under these conditions

Hopefully this will support young people with autism
