    I'm in the process of being diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome (high functioning autism) and when I told my mum that I think in trans, she told me it's common for people on the autistic spectrum to feel that way and that it usually sorts itself out once they accept that their gender isn't the problem. She told me if I truly am transgender her and my dad will accept me for who I am and I can be whoever I feel. She said Aspergers first and gender later. I'm wondering if anyone can give me any advice on the matter?
