Name(s) and Definition(s)
Autigender also known as Autisgender is a Neurogender defined as "autism as part or whole of gender identity; a gender that can only be understood in context of being autistic.
note: only to be used by autistics."1
It was redefined as "a neurogender which can only be understood in the context of being autistic or when one's autism greatly affects one's gender or how one experiences gender. Autigender is not autism as a gender, but rather is a gender that if so heavily influenced by autism that one's gender and autism cannot be unlinked. Since gender is a social construct created by allistics and neurotypicals, and social constructs are one thing that autistic people generally struggle with there are many who may feel like their autism influences their experience of gender enough to identify with this gender. . There are many studies that show that autistic people are more likely to be transgender.
Not all autistic people identify as autigender, only those whose gender is influenced by them being autistic. Autigender is an exclusive gender as, obviously, non-autistic people can not be autigender, because they have no autism to influence their gender."2
It was again, slightly, redefined as "a neurogender which can only be understood in the context of being autistic or when one's autism greatly affects one's gender or how one experiences gender. Autigender is not autism as a gender, but rather is a gender that is so heavily influenced by autism that one's autism and one's experience of gender cannot be unlinked. There are many studies that show that autistic people are more likely to be transgender.
Autigender can be a stand alone gender or it can be used in combination with another gender (e.g. autigirl, autiboy, autienby, autixenby, etc) to show that one's experience of that gender is heavily influenced by being autistic. One's gender can be influenced by one's autism in many ways. Since gender is a social construct created by allistics/neurotypicals, and social constructs are one thing that autistic people generally struggle with, there are many people who may feel like being autistic influences their experience, perception, or understanding of gender. Autistic people may also face unique challenges in coming out and transitioning. Autigender is a way to express this and to find others with similar gender experiences.
