Children who have gender dysphoria will be tested for autism, according to leaked plans. Health officials will screen these children for neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and ADHD, reports suggest. New guidance is to be issued in the wake of the Cass Review into gender identity services in the NHS, which found the quality of studies claiming to show beneficial effects of puberty blockers for children and young people with gender dysphoria was "poor". Puberty blockers are not prescribed on the NHS to children for the treatment of gender dysphoria, with a ban last year being made permanent in December with the agreement of devolved governments across the UK.
