Many articles about women with autism focus on the fact they are often diagnosed later than men or on the differences between men and women with autism. I believe we need to broaden the conversation to take into account a diversity of experiences, including people who identify as 'non-binary' instead of as men or women.

 I am both autistic and transgender. 3 of my 5 kids show varying degrees of autistic traits, two of those are girls.
