Watch Double Rainbows: The Fascinating Connection Between Autism and Gender Identity

Tessa Watkins, the human behind Just 1 Voice, was a speaker at the TransPride YOUniting 2023 Health & Wellness Conference, hosted by TransYOUniting and TransPride PGH. Their talk is titled “Double Rainbows: The Fascinating Connection Between Autism and Gender Identity” and was live-streamed on Saturday, October 7th, at 9:15am EDT.

From neurodivergent to gender divergent, take a deeper look with Tessa about the interplay in the autistic brain of people who are transgender, nonbinary, or gender non-conforming. This discussion will offer new perspectives, challenge stereotypes, and pave the way for a more inclusive and empathetic society through the courage and strength that radiates from the lives of those who dance among the rainbows.

This presentation was accredited for Continuing Education Credits (AMA, APA, AAPA, AANC) for live-stream attendance only. This session was recorded, but recordings are not eligible for Continuing Education Credits.


The TransPride YOUniting Health & Wellness Conference is held annually in October. This conference seeks to be a beacon of hope by bringing together community, professionals, families, educators, allies, advocates, and supporters and rallying against these issues by centering the lives and lived experiences of the transgender, gender diverse, and gender non-conforming people. We strive to bring these communities together in a space of mutual learning through shared perspectives and experience.
