虽然有关于并发自闭症谱系疾病(ASC)和跨性别模态(TGM)的患病率的研究,对这种关联的潜在机制知之甚少。需要洞察力来改善对自闭症患者的治疗。这篇综述概述了关于ASC-TGM链接的理论以及2016年1月至2020年10月发表的支持/反对它们的可用证据。在PubMed中进行了系统的搜索,PsycINFO,WebofScience,还有Scopus.这导致了36项研究,其中确定了15种理论。结果表明,所有理论都缺乏实质性的经验支持。确定了不太可能和有希望的理论。最有希望的理论是那些反对社会规范和削弱性别差异的理论。提供了未来的方向。
While research on the prevalence of co-occurring autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and trans gender modality (TGM) is available, less is known about the underlying mechanism of this association. Insight is needed to improve treatment of trans autistic people. This review provides an overview of theories on the ASC-TGM link and the available evidence for/against them published between January 2016 and October 2020. A systematic search was performed in PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus. This resulted in 36 studies, in which 15 theories were identified. Results indicate all theories lack substantial empirical support. Unlikely and promising theories were identified. The most promising theories were those on resistance to social norms and weakened sex differences. Future directions are provided.
