Trans and Autistic

Trans and Autistic: Stories from Life at the Intersection opens with the disability community maxim “Nothing About Us Without Us”… and more than lives up to its promise. In these ten chapters, authors Noah Adams and Bridget Liang bring the reader into ten autistic trans worlds that span the ordinary and the extraordinary. Refusing to play the part of the spectacle, what Adams and Liang offer is deceptively simple - a set of vital voices rarely heard on their own terms. – Jake Pyne, Assistant Professor, York University School of Social WorkTrans and Autistic offers trans autistic people an opportunity to read about their kin after years of reading books by and for cisgender and neurotypical people, while, simultaneously providing professionals and families the grounded understanding essential to meeting the needs of trans autistic people in their lives. – Finn Gratton, LMFT, Psychotherapist, Educator, author of Supporting Transgender Autistic Youth and Adults
