[quote=Anonymous]I think the point is that, for example, repetitive interests look different in boys and girls and an evaluator used to working with boys might miss seeing it in girls. The stereotype of a boy with asperger's is of someone who knows everything about one particular topic and will monologue about that topic. My daughter is nothing like that; instead she has one activity that she does to the exclusion of anything else, although she doesn't necessarily talk about that activity and the activity changes every few months. Another part of the article that resonated with me was that boys with autism tend to have less social motivation; girls are more likely to want friends but have social communication deficits that interfere.[/quote]
