LGBTQ+ and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Experiences and Challenges

£0.00

Hillier, Gallop, Mendes, Tellez, Buckingham, Nizami and OToole (2020)

This study explored the experiences of autistic people who also identify as LGBTQ+, a group that has received little research attention. Through a focus group, participants shared challenges related to having both identities, including facing discrimination, feeling isolated, and lacking appropriate support services. The findings highlight the need for greater awareness and better support for people who navigate both autism and diverse gender or sexual identities.
