Hi, Im new here but looking for any mums that are in the same position as me that could offer advise.
My transgender son (14) has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, also high functioning Autism . The Autism has taken 4 years going through agency after agency, but has now proven his issues.
Im a single parent of two, my eldest is now at college. We are in total acceptance of my youngests transgender. He has been going to Tavistock since June last year. He is due to start hormone blockers next week . But he is desperate to get testosterone before the age limit in uk 17, as he wants to go through male puberty like his peers to be accepted.
At the moment his autism is causing issues of him being in loud places, and around people. He is being home tutored.
Is there any other transgender teen parents that have either looked into or been to the USA to obtain the testosterone treatment. If so where do I start.
Is there anyway for financial funding as im no longer working due to a permanant diseminating illness myself and am on benefits.
What are the costs to get to USA for the treatment, how long do we go for etc.
Help
