At least, as long as you really want to figure it out and don't want to latch onto an easy-to-understand narrative to save time and effort, anyway.
Autism is a DSM-V diagnosis; being trans is not. On the other hand, there are individuals who are autistic and are completely happy in life, in no need of any therapy, counseling, etc. For those individuals, their autism is simply a different way of looking at the World, no better or worse than the so-called "normal" people.
