Overlapping Spectrums: Gender diversity and Neurodiversity

  • Le Centre Sheraton Montréal Hotel 1201 Boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest Montréal, QC, H3B 2L7 Canada (map)

Current research and clinical practice have identified an emerging overlap of gender diversity with various neurodiversities. Clinicians in trans health are often tasked with supporting clients who identify as trans who may also be autistic, have ADHD, or experience intellectual, sensory, or social differences. This workshop will focus on assessment within these overlapping spectrums, provide support in clarifying social and medical transition needs for gender diverse and neurodiverse clients, review at a high level some recent research in this field, and provide participants with tools and frameworks for supporting trans neurodiverse clients with preparation for social and medical transition.
