Asperger's Syndrome doesn't discriminate. But TSism is probably more common in Aspergers .

That said, there is some evidence that children with autistic spectrum disorders (including AS) go through periods of gender confusion more often than kids from a neuro-typical spectrum. Thus, around puberty, an AS child may suddenly declare that he is gay, for example, and 6 months later "change his mind." Given that homosexuality and other gender issues are presumed to be biological and not emotional states, we see the issue of gender confusion more often in those kids who have issues with socialization in general, such as AS kids.

Then there is the diminishing of Asperger's syndrome in general and the new concepts of autism spectrum as being a more vague classification in our new awareness and the DSM-V.

There is good evidence to suggest what we see as social miss cue reading might be contributed to a transsexual's brain, that often cannot parody their assigned gender which develops comorbidity of autistic like symptoms, ADD, dyspraxia.

Depending on demands of strong social interactions, effect how well a transsexual masks and adjusts to social interactions and recognition of social cues.

Its pretty obvious true transsexuals are not finding discomfort simply on masculine or feminine object, but on cues, and more to the point micro-cues that are gender specific. This parody demand we see in social groupings of acting and playing with boys or girls, also require a transsexual to construct a self model of parody with their assigned gender, we see this as sometimes hyper-parody or rejection entirely.

If the latter is the result, anti-social distancing can occur, causing even more problems in emotive processing of more articulate social cue recognition leaving someone with what seems autistic. Lower social demands, or a more gender neutral environment, allow a transsexual to interact with less stress, allowing the emotive development of articulate social cue recognition.

Can transsexuals have normal sexual urges?

Yes, depending on the person. Transsexual people, like society at large, tend to have the full range of sexual urges. While transsexual persons are more likely than the general public to have no interest at all, many do have a more typical range of sexual drive and urges. Unlike public perception, transsexual persons are no more likely to be oversexed or promiscuous than most other people.Even after surgery, transsexual women can usually reach orgasm. Transsexual men are not as lucky in that regard, but their surgery has come a long ways.

How do transsexuals change?

Transsexual individuals may undergo a process called gender transition, which can involve medical interventions such as hormone therapy and surgery to align their physical characteristics with their identified gender. It is important to note that not all transsexual individuals choose to undergo these procedures, and they may also undertake social and legal steps to affirm their gender identity.

I have refractory ceoliac type 2 which means I have non hodgkins lymphoma. I also suffer from Aspergers (diagnosed).
