Gender and Autism Program: A novel clinical service model for gender-diverse/transgender autistic youth and young adults

Conclusions: Since its founding, the GAP has proven a sustainable neuropsychology-based service with consistent referral flow and insurance authorizations. Capturing staff perspectives through rigorous Delphi methods, and addressing the GAP's feasibility and replicability, this study provides a road map for replicating this service. We also highlight GAP training of specialist clinicians, fundamental to addressing the desperate shortage of providers in this field.PMID:38664066 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2024.2318155
