Out of Universe: Adam is played by a cisgender woman, it was commonplace to cast cis people of the opposite gender as trans characters at the time but this casting is transphobic and adversely affected the writing. Specifically, they couldn’t have the character get HRT until right before he died. The non-binary character is also played by a cis person.

Season 11 Episode 13 (Should have said No part 2): when Jake asks Clare if they can talk they go to a classroom and there's a snake in a vivarium in there. Be prepared because the scene opens with a close up of it, it is rather difficult to avoid and quite sudden if you don't know about it.

It is however important to note Drew Torres' potential assault by Katie Matlin is never threated with any concern for him. Especially given he didn't consent to either sleeping with her explicitely & having it videotaped & then distributed to the entire school. Everyone accuses him of cheating on Bianca DaSousa, including Bianca

This episode is all about Adam & the obstacles he has to overcome to his family sans Drew who was accepting of him - with a few bumps in the road - since the beginning as a transgender man.
His birthname Gracie is mentioned by a family member, though I don't remember if it was the grandmother or Audra Torres
