Autism and gender dysphoria

NAS93350
23 days ago

I am a parent of a 17 year old who is experiencing gender dysphoria. I will support my child no matter what or how they decide to live their life but I would like to give them the opportunity to talk to someone who has experience in this field. They agree this would be helpful to them. Does anyone have recommendations for a therapist/psychologist/psychotherapist who has experience with this subject? We live in the North London area and would prefer face to face but could do virtual sessions if someone comes highly recommended.

    I don’t have any specific recommendations but below I have linked to the organisation AIM for the Rainbow which might be able to help you:

    The charity is autistic led and specialises in supporting LGBTQIA+ members of our autistic community.

    Also Autistic and Living the Dream provides a range of support services specialising in the LGBTQIA + community. They may be able to signpost you to a psychologist that can meet your young person’s needs:

    I hope this helps!
