We know that there have been studies on various topics about sexuality and different ages. So far I haven't seen one on children with autism and down syndrome. It seems that at least those with down's syndrome are more likely to be sexualised than other children. If anyone has any information about this group of children, please share or comment. Thank you

Autism and trans/fluid/non-binary identification are very common in the MAP community. I wonder why?

Birds of feather flock together. People who have similar identities, life experiences, ideologies, or mindsets prefer to interact with each other.

There could be many reasons for this, but I think a major factor is the process of introspection and questioning dogma that is often a part of realizing your trans identity. I had a similar process with being attracted to men, the process of breaking down stereotypes about homosexuality directly contributed to me doing so with minor attraction later down the line.
