Some studies show there's a correlation between autism and gender dysphoria. Is there really a link between the two?
There are multiple meta-analysis articles suggesting a correlation between autism and gender dysphoria. Examples include https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-022-05517-y, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-019-04298-1, and https://doi.org/10.1089/lgbt.2018.0252. These reviews suggest a significant higher-than-normal co-occurrence of autism and gender dysphoria among individuals.

However, all of these reviews highlight that existing studies on the correlation of the two are heterogeneous: different studies target different demographics. Also, the fields of both autism and gender dysphoria keeps progressing with time, rendering comparison of studies across long period of time difficult. Whether there is a correlation between autism and gender dysphoria remains inconclusive, although existing, limited evidences leans towards its existence.
