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.

I was a school speech therapist for over 30 years and worked with the full gamut of handicapping conditions, including mild to severe autism. I have never heard of distinctions being made on the basis of gender. I am not sure what exactly the therapist means by “presented differently“.
