Looking for some guidance on how to help my teen.
17 year old is on the spectrum, some social issues aggravated by the pandemic but in quite a good place now. Went to an all boys secondary school (not our first choice) and eventually decided they were trans. I think that thinking they’re trans may partially have been a reaction to being in such a pigeon holed version of masculinity environment. I was hoping once they moved to college and could be themselves that things would just evolve.
I am largely gc and keep hoping that eventually they’ll come around and accept they are their biological sex and be whatever version of themselves they would like to be.
I’m not sure that’s going to happen organically and I’m a little concerned that without help towards self acceptance they could end up down a medicalised path they can’t come back from.
