In this study, we developed a gender dysphoria scale based on the diagnostic criteria of DSM-5 and examined the relationship between childhood gender dysphoria and family influence. Furthermore, Harima (2014) examined the relationship between gender dysphoria and autism spectrum traits, as some individuals with pervasive developmental disorder have confused gender identities and show gender dysphoria. The survey was conducted to 219 subjects, and the questionnaire consisted of (1) gender, (2) age, (3) gender dysphoria scale (as a child and now), (4) family influence scale, and (5) autistic spectrum index test. The subjects were divided into four groups based on their gender dysphoria as children and their current level of gender dysphoria (LL, LH. HL, HH). In four groups, we analyzed the relationships with gender dysphoria and family influence and gender dysphoria and Autism spectrum tendencies. The results showed that 1) perceptions of gender dysphoria in childhood were related to family influences, and 2) there was some relationship between gender dysphoria and autism spectrum tendencies. Regarding the influence of family members, we were only able to identify an overall trend. In the future, we felt the need to use a questionnaire that asks about the relationship with specific family members.
