Note: Reference category (IV1) = female gender identity. Reference category (IV2) = heterosexual sexual orientation. (DV) = autism diagnosis.. 95% CI is reported for the OR. Age and the comorbid diagnoses of ADHD status, major depression, and ‘no’ reported comorbid diagnoses were controlled for in all analyses. As each controlling covariate was non-significant in all analyses, we do not present or interpret these results
