“…This is in contrast with the findings of Strang et al (2014) who did not find increased emotional problems and argued that due to reduced awareness of gender and gender nonconformity among individuals with ASD with increased endorsement of Item 110, they might experience less stigma.

However, such effects vary in accordance with personal characteristics and the coping strategies deployed to deal with such images (Major & O'Brien, 2005).…”

“…16 Gender nonconforming adolescents also experience higher rates of abuse. 2,9,17,18 Because gender expression in childhood is associated with sexual orientation in adolescence, 19 early gender nonconforming behavior may make children targets of abuse before a youth's disclosure or awareness of their sexual orientation.…”
