[quote=Anonymous]OP I hope this helps you. My DD was diagnosed at 15 and my DS at 3. Both are low-support but all the subtle signs were there. Girls do better at “masking” but the sophisticated social demands (including social media) on girls make for a lot of difficulty. My two kids are night and day in terms of symptoms and outcomes. I was told ASD girls present most like neurotypical boys—not like ASD boys. ASD girls want to bond by doing stuff together from the get/go without a lot of conversation (like boys) and often can’t or won’t go through the whole process of chit chat, deep conversations (marked by reciprocity) that form the foundation of close girl friendships.[/quote]
