Gender Dysphoria, Sexuality and Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Map Review

Auteurs: Roald A. Øien, Domenic V. Cicchetti, Anders Nordahl-Hansen

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 12/2018

Abstract

In this systematic map review, we aimed (1) at identifying studies including the co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and gender dysphoria (GD) between 1946 and 2018, and (2) to present the papers included in this systematic map review to provide authors in the field of GD, sexuality and ASD with an important database of studies focusing on this very complex topic. The field is of emerging interest, as observed by the large increase of studies over the past decades, especially since 2015. However, future challenges are to be addressed in future studies.
