Our daughter, who has high functioning Asperger Syndrome, is experiencing gender dysphoria. At this point, she is miserable in her own body, and is asking for surgery and hormone therapy.
Does anyone know of articles, books, or professionals who can help her/us to sort this out?
Did you find any resources for your daughter? What she is experiencing is very very common among girls and women on the spectrum.
What to do depends on her age.
If you email me, I can point you toward some articles and information. I speak nationally on issues of importance to the Autism community, and I am a transgendered Autistic woman myself.
