This project seeks to explore the intersection of autistic and trans identity through analysis of self-narratives and dominant narratives within academia, social work and social policy. While autism and transness are heavily medicalised, there are no biological markers for either identity (Pyne, 2021). As Botha, Hanlon and William highlight in the case of autism, they are both "real" and constructed through "social meaning, culture, language, and common understanding" (2021: 2). Through these constructions, stories are told about autistic trans people and different stories prompt different cultural and policy responses (Yergeau, 2018). Policy and practices reify the narratives upon which they are based and have a significant impact on how the constructed group views themselves and how others view them (Lister, 2010). As such, the narrative construction of autistic trans people has the potential to directly impact our lives and others' responses to them. However, dominant narratives of research, social work and social policy do not often reflect or consider the voices of autistic trans people. This research will therefore foreground autistic trans self-narratives to disrupt, challenge and neuroqueer dominant narratives with the aim of improving health and social care policy and practice. With this in mind, the following research questions were developed: RQ1: How is the intersection of autistic and trans identity and experience represented within self-narratives?RQ2: How is the intersection of autistic and trans identity and experience represented within dominant narratives?RQ3: How could health and social care policy be improved to better include and support autistic trans people?

该项目旨在通过分析学术界、社会工作和社会政策中的自我叙述和主流叙述，探索自闭症和跨性别身份的交叉点。虽然自闭症和跨性别者已被高度医学化，但这两种身份都没有生物标记（Pyne，2021）。正如博塔、汉隆和威廉在自闭症案例中所强调的那样，它们都是“真实的”，并且是通过“社会意义、文化、语言和共同理解”构建的（2021：2）。通过这些构建，讲述了关于自闭症跨性别者的故事，不同的故事引发了不同的文化和政策反应（Yergeau，2018）。政策和实践具体化了它们所依据的叙述，并对所构建的群体如何看待自己以及其他人如何看待他们产生重大影响（Lister，2010）。因此，自闭症跨性别者的叙事结构有可能直接影响我们的生活和其他人对他们的反应。然而，研究、社会工作和社会政策的主流叙述通常并不反映或考虑自闭症跨性别者的声音。因此，这项研究将突出自闭症跨性别自我叙事，以扰乱、挑战和神经酷儿主导叙事，旨在改善健康和社会护理政策和实践。考虑到这一点，提出了以下研究问题： RQ1：自闭症和跨性别身份和经验的交集如何在自我叙述中体现？RQ2：自闭症和跨性别身份和经验的交集如何在主导叙述中表示？RQ3 ：如何改进健康和社会保健政策，以更好地包容和支持自闭症跨性别者？
