She/They. I am the mother of a 16 year old Trans/ENBY kiddo on the Autism spectrum with severe gender dysphoria and who also has ADHD, Depression, and a host of other mental health diagnoses.  I am excited to gain some tools for navigating these challenging waters and helping my child feel more accepted and confident in themself.
