Autism in Girls
Autism in girls is often overlooked due to diagnostic criteria based on research primarily on boys with autism. Girls with autism may exhibit different signs and symptoms compared to boys, such as masking symptoms, social difficulties, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and depression, underdiagnosis, and outdated stereotypes. They may also struggle with forming and maintaining friendships and display repetitive behaviors better in public.
Autistic girls may experience higher rates of anxiety and depression compared to boys with autism or typically developing girls. Some girls may receive a diagnosis of ADHD instead of autism due to the overlap of symptoms. Stereotypes and barriers contribute to underdiagnosis and lack of support for autistic girls.
