Research has consistently shown that autistic individuals thrive in communities that affirm and embrace their neurodivergence, just as members of the LGBTQIA+ community benefit from acceptance and validation. However, the current political climate presents significant challenges for individuals who identify as both autistic and gender diverse, making it increasingly difficult for them to feel safe, valued, and supported. This dual lack of acceptance for their intersectionality only exacerbates mental health challenges. As a psychologist working with autistic and gender-diverse clients, I have observed a growing prevalence of anxiety, depression, and distress related to fears of societal rejection. Many clients have shared concerns about their future in this country, with some considering relocation to ensure their safety. Others, who previously felt secure in their identities, are now expressing a desire to suppress their authenticity by masking, concealing their gender identity, or retreating into the closet. This workshop will explore the most pressing mental health concerns affecting autistic gender-diverse clients in the current climate. We will engage in a collaborative discussion on emerging trends observed by other providers and share effective therapeutic strategies. I will also present insights from my clinical practice, including approaches that have helped clients regain a sense of autonomy and empowerment in the face of uncertainty.
