Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 There are several threads to be discussed when it comes to gender and autism: Is there a measurable and/or observable difference between males and females with autism. How does that difference manifest cognitively and behaviorally. Do the current diagnostic criteria take into account any identified differences and accurately identify and diagnose males and females with autism.
#2 The autism field is beginning to recognize and recognize female ASD, but the tools used to identify autism may have a male bias. It may be that females present their autism differently through behaviors that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria.
#3 There is huge variation in the sex ratios of autism, and it is commonly believed that more females with autism exist within lower IQ levels than within higher IQ levels.
#4 The extreme male brain theory of autism is the idea that autism is caused by elevated foetal testosterone levels, and that this is correlated both positively and inversely with a number of autistic characteristics.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

There are several threads to be discussed when it comes to gender and autism: Is there a measurable and/or observable difference between males and females with autism. How does that difference manifest cognitively and behaviorally. Do the current diagnostic criteria take into account any identified differences and accurately identify and diagnose males and females with autism.

#2

The autism field is beginning to recognize and recognize female ASD, but the tools used to identify autism may have a male bias. It may be that females present their autism differently through behaviors that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria.

#3

There is huge variation in the sex ratios of autism, and it is commonly believed that more females with autism exist within lower IQ levels than within higher IQ levels.

#4

The extreme male brain theory of autism is the idea that autism is caused by elevated foetal testosterone levels, and that this is correlated both positively and inversely with a number of autistic characteristics.

#5

There has been little research into gender-differentiated behavior manifestation in autism, and what exists is limited to specific elements of the current diagnostic criteria. It is unclear if females with autism are more prone to the symptoms of masculinization than males with autism, or if they simply show a lack of preference for gender-based non-pretence toys.

#6

There are some differences between the male and female profile of autism, and these may vary based on age. For example, girls with autism are more likely to be diagnosed with emotional problems than boys with autism.

#7

Women with autism are able to apply the systematic nature of their autistic brain to the study and replication of people skills, which allows them to participate socially. However, the mechanical basis of these strategies means that at times of stress, in unexpected situations, or after a period of time, it may be impossible for them to be maintained.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, includes the first mention of sex differences in the autism spectrum disorders diagnosis. It states that females are more likely to show accompanying intellectual disability, which suggests that girls without accompanying intellectual disability or language delays may go undetected.

#2

The diagnostic process for autism is subjective and based on the quality and quantity of evidence gathered and the experience and opinion of the clinician or clinicians involved.

#3

females are less likely to receive a diagnosis than males, and by using current diagnostic methods, some females may look less autistic, but they actually feel more autism. girls and boys may be identified for diagnostic assessment at a similar age, but boys are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis than girls.
