trans or gender non-conforming

These are two wildly different things though. And I'm not criticizing you, obviously, just criticizing the view you mentioned.

Yeah, the indifference towards social gender roles and customs could easily lead into expressing yourself in a way don't conform to society norms. But that is very different from actually identifying as TQ+. If anything, identifying as TQ+ is the opposite: you care so much about social gender roles and customs that you need to put yourself in a different label so that you're allowed to express yourself in another way.

I should've expressed myself a bit better. Autistic people are very likely to be gender non-conforming, but that can quickly develop into a belief that one is trans/non-binary as a result of over-obsession (or if it becomes a 'special interest') and/or outside pressure from peers, online communities and even some parents/teachers/psychologists (who are the worst of the lot because they don't have youthful inexperience to blame their misjudgement on).
