2016, Lydia X. Z. Brown, quoted in Finn V. Gratton, Supporting Transgender Autistic Youth and Adults: A Guide for Professionals and Families (2019), page 15:
Someone who is gendervague cannot separate their gender identity from their neurodivergence—being autistic doesn't cause my gender identity, but it is inextricably related to how I understand and experience gender.

Daniel is a gendervague. They is[sic] an “Autistic” whose autism is “professionally documented” rather than being diagnosed as such. Because they believes that “Autism is not a disease, so the concept of "diagnosis" doesn't apply,” they did not answer or answered in an atypical way many of my questions that included the word, ‘diagnosis,’ except the question about whether a respondent was officially diagnosed, to which they answered yes.

The term gendervague, coined within the autistic community, references the phenomenon of gender nonconformity, with or without dysphoria, as dependent on or derivative from autistic or other neurodivergent experiences — not necessarily in a causal relationship but perhaps a closely co-constitutive one for those living at that intersection (Brown, 2016).

More recently, I've started referring to myself as gendervague, a term coined within the autistic community to refer to a specifically neurodivergent experience of trans/gender identity.

In other cases, heteronormativity was made the villain by fans. For example, Holly, a sex-repulsed asexual aromantic gendervague female, explained that ‘the idea of being able to write both a support system and an internal/societal antagonist they [the queer characters] have to fight against is rather rewarding and actually helps me feel better about myself and my own identity and sexuality.’

In what is now termed as ‘gendervague’ by the autistic community, it is believed that being transgender does not have a causal relationship to autism, but autism does influence how a person understands their gender.

Today, when thinking about gender, it's more accurate to say that I'm agender or genderless than anything else – gendervague (e.g. Brown, 2019; Neumeier, 2015) (meaning being autistic and otherwise neurodivergent shapes my relationship to gender), […]
