I find more females are diagnosed with Anxiety particularly Social and separation Anxiety when behaviors could fit on the spectrum.

or there are just less reports because autistic traits are seen as "submissive" or "cute" in women while in men they are seen as "childish"

My daughter 4 now only got services at 18 months and diagnosed because I insisted her doc was happy to right her off as quiet and well behaved

it's because the "gold standard" testing for Autism ADOS was developed with only male subjects.

Aren’t there genetic markers for Autism, if so, why not just do genetic testing rather than rely on diagnosing based on presentation?

As a female my social difficulties were definitely under higher scrutiny, but my Acedemic struggles were normalized as being a “Ditz”. 🙃

"Social pressure of being a female" - nah, it's estrogen, or lack of high amounts of testosterone to be specific. Can we maybe stop constructionism 😅

I'm so happy someone said this. Too many times only statistics have been shown the numbers of diagnosis in males vs females rather than explain the #s

We are working on getting my 3 year old son evaluated for autism and so much of what they notice in him are things I do or did growing up.

Because the “norm” is based off of males. As you said, “presents different,” making the group norm males. Patriarchy for the win, again.

I am a late diagnosed autistic female. 😅 I have definitely fooled everyone I know and I had a total identity crisis in October 2020 😁

do you think because of the expansive gender spectrum that looking at the diagnoses based on gender is no longer worth it?

my daughter just got a diagnosis due to me pushing. I thought she had ADHD. But it turns out it's Autism.

I think it’s really sad when women go to their doctors or pyschs and want to pursue autism and they get dismissed solely because of their gender.
