It's worth mentioning that TRAs tend to fetishize neurological disorders, rather than actually having them.

I don't believe that most trans-identified people are actually autistic, or even half of them. I've been around several trans-heavy groups and the self proclaimed "autistic" ones generally, conveniently only have the symptoms they find "trendy", like "special interests" (which to them, is just really liking a certain anime or something) or suffering from sensory overload only when they're called out and need an excuse to leave and not acknowledge they did anything wrong. Also, in my experience most people with autism etc don't announce it too freely, and definitely don't spend ages explaining how quirky and special it makes them.

Same goes for DID (which is criticized as not being real anyway.) These people don't actually have "multiple personalities", they just pretend because they think it's quirky and they're detached from reality. I was actually in a "LGBT" discord server where the trans mods were trying to convince people, myself included, to BECOME DID or get "tulpas". And one by one more people would show off their new "multiple personalities." Not because they actually had them, but because of the pressure from the mods, they started roleplaying just so they could feel included.

And there are others, like ADHD, which pisses me off because I actually display symptoms of it (not diagnosed so I can't confirm) and it's not at all fun or "quirky", my every day life is impacted and if I was diagnosed with it (or any other disorder) I certainly wouldn't go to put it in my Twitter bio and talk about how cool it is to be "neurodivergent"
