UK: How NHS Children's Transgender Clinic Buried the Fact that 372 Out of 1,069 Patients Were Autistic
"Britain's only NHS transgender clinic for children was last night accused of burying disturbing figures showing a third of its young patients are autistic.
Since 2011, specialists at The Tavistock Centre’s Gender Identity Development Service in London have seen more than 1,000 under- 18s.
An internal review discovered 372 of these patients – some 35 per cent – exhibited ‘moderate or severe autistic traits.'
Yet despite the potential significance of the figures – and amid growing concerns that youngsters with developmental and mental health problems are being railroaded into medical treatment for ‘gender dysphoria’ – the finding has never been highlighted by the clinic since its publication in June." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6401947/How-NHS-childrens-transgender-clinic-buried-fact-372-1-069-patients-autistic.html
