Autism and gender

My daughter (9) has recently been diagnosed with ASD. I'm trying to find resources for both her and me to help us to understand the diagnosis and what it means to be autistic. But I'm finding there is a lot of emphasis on gender diversity, transgender issues, being "cis" or not etc.

I'm gender critical and I worry that gender activists are quite active in the autism/neurodivergent community because it might feel to a young ND person that being "trans" explains their differences and the challenges they face. I think this could make ND kids more susceptible to gender ideology.

All this to say, does anyone have any resources they could point me to which don't focus on gender issues and autism? Ideally for both me and my daughter.

Can anyone enlighten me about what I said that was so inflammatory? Are we still not allowed to use the term trans-identified male? Why not?

I didn’t see the post but deletions sometimes seem quite random.

I can't remember either.

Yes I'm definitely going to keep her off social media for as long as possible. I feel like nothing good can come of it.
