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
Because boys and girls are biologically different.
It’s very likely that girls are by default a lot more sociable than boys.
Even men who are not autistic can really struggle socially or be partial mutes etc.
An autistic woman supposedly still has more social instinct than most men.
