‘Autism’ is officially ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, because everyone on the spectrum is slightly different.
None of us are quite alike, and we mask our behaviour in many different ways.
One reason there are far more diagnosed males than females is they only studied males, and based diagnostic criteria on those studies.
Although I am cis male, my brain typically tests as female.
And *ALL* the traits on the right are far more like me than ‘typical’ ASD presentation.
This great infographic was designed by Karen Baker, a graphic designer in the UK about the traits of autism in females, and shared Mrs Speechie P, on Facebook.
This is such great information! We know girls are frequently missed, and this is often due to their ability to imitate others and mask their difficulties. It’s important to note that girls with autism will still have difficulty socializing- although it is difficult for non specialists (and frequently specialists too!)
to recognize as it’s typically different than the way boys on the spectrum present. If you are concerned with your daughter or female student, talk to her teacher and ask how about how she interacts with peers, this might give you some good info!
Speechie P,
I found it originally on another website worth reading, but you might get a security warning there.
