[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reasons I've heard are that 1. ASD girls with gendered special interests like dolls and princesses are are assumed to just have "normal" behavior 2. ASD girls have more social motivation, on average, than boys I think ASD girls on average may also be less likely to display disruptive behaviors that lead teachers to recommend evaluating.[/quote] +1 also usually ASD girls "mask" more, which means they observe others behaviors and mimic them. Also, in our family, the ASD men are the scientist-type and have communication or social difficulties, but the ASD women are off the charts when it comes to anything verbal (think the lawyer/debater type).[/quote]
