The present study investigated the relation between autistic traits and gender minority stress and the relative importance of autistic traits and gender minority stress in predicting mental health outcomes in gender minority adults. An online survey was completed by 90 transgender women, 72 transgender men, 48 non-binary individuals assigned male at birth (AMAB), and 98 non-binary individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB). Autistic traits positively correlated with internalised transphobia in the non-binary groups. In general, higher autistic traits and gender minority stress correlated with poorer mental health outcomes. After controlling for gender minority stress, autistic traits accounted for additional variance of suicidality across gender minority groups, anxiety symptoms in the non-binary groups, and all mental health outcomes in non-binary AFAB.
本研究调查了自闭症特征与性别少数群体压力之间的关系，以及自闭症特征和性别少数群体压力在预测性别少数群体成年人心理健康结果方面的相对重要性。通过在线调查的方式，共 90 名跨性别女性、72 名跨性别男性、48 名出生时被指定为男性的非二元个体（AMAB）和 98 名出生时被指定为女性的非二元个体（AFAB）参与了本次研究。自闭症特征与非二元群体的内化跨性别恐惧症呈正相关。一般来说，自闭症特征和性别少数群体压力越高，心理健康结果越差。在控制了性别少数群体压力后，自闭症特征在跨性别群体的自杀意念、非二元群体的焦虑症状以及非二元 AFAB 的所有心理健康结果方面，解释了更多的方差。
