I am seriously not sold on this "it's just a coincidence bruh" kind of thinking. I know an autistic girl, who considers herself to be a "man in a woman's body". But, she knows, that cutting her won body into a Lovecraftian fanfic would not help her in the slightest.
And I assume, that every doctor has to know the same. All systems have human element involved (including law) exactly to avoid the common programming error of "I wrote wrong assumptions, but let's cut this kid to pieces anyway".

BTW, I don't think it's autism genocide either.
I think it's a few psychopaths who managed to find a way to make people dependant on their product for the rest of their life against their will.
Or in short, the exact worst case scenario of "evil capitalism", that lefties ignore completely for some reason.
@LukeAlmighty Nope, I think autistic people’s tendency to take things literally, and to be aware that they tend to think differently, makes them more susceptible to the idea that they are actually the opposite sex.
This is especially the case when we’re talking about autistic girls, where you can think of that mode of thinking as more “boy-like”.
“I don’t really fit in with the girls, so maybe that means I’m a boy”, if you will.
