A term referring to someone who is both autistic and LGBTQIA+.

For those out of the loop, a common symbol/colors for LGBT folk is the rainbow-originally came in 8 stripes (each with different color) but there's since been several variations of the original rainbow. It is often associated with the diversity--although the original colors did have their own meanings--inherent in the extended LGBT community. In addition, a symbol of the autism rights movement is the rainbow infinity sign (NOT the puzzle piece), which also represents diversity, only this time of the human mind.

Unsurprisingly, LGBT people and autistic people may be able to relate to each other. Both have been the targets of "conversion" therapies, bullying, stereotypes, violence including murders, and otherwise stigmatized. In fact, there's hate groups that want to remove gays and/or autistics (I do NOT want to name them). In addition, there may be some relationship between both demographics: one study has found that people at gender clinics are 10x more likely to be diagnosed with/are diagnosable with autism.
