So I recently got diagnosed with autism, and my therapist was talking about how it was most likely missed because of how different the disorder can show itself in boys vs girls.
So, why?
It looks like it’s the same over different populations, so I don’t think it’s anything to do with culture or anything like that. So is it something biological? Maybe it interacts with chromosomes or something?
I keep seeing things that tell me that it’s different, but nothing about why.
In: Biology
for people who are higher functioning it might be harder to notice due to socialization, that i agree
but there are a LOT of autistic people who are unmistakably autistic. like they don’t hold eye contact, they get angry towards other people’s neutral emotions, their affect is flat and so on. and you can tell that they’re autistic, whether or not they’re a boy or girl.
that’s not even mentioning those that are just straight up non verbal
