auttee

Auttee is a term that has emerged in online communities, particularly within discussions related to gender identity and autism. It is not a formal or widely recognized term in academic or clinical settings. The term generally refers to individuals who identify as autistic and also identify as transgender or gender non-conforming.

The usage of "auttee" is primarily found within specific online spaces where autistic individuals and transgender individuals intersect. It can be used as a shorthand or a way for people with these intersecting identities to find community and shared experiences. Some individuals find the term empowering, as it acknowledges and validates both aspects of their identity.

However, it is important to note that "auttee" is a neologism and not universally adopted. Not all autistic individuals who are also transgender or gender non-conforming use or identify with this term. The term's usage and acceptance can vary significantly, and it is often a personal choice whether to adopt it. Like many identity-related terms that originate online, its definition and significance are primarily determined by the communities that use it.
