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
It’s not necessarily autism as a whole umbrella, but what type of disability they have. Downs syndrome can affect both genders the same, while fragile x tends to affect males more severely.
