The male to female ratio of autism diagnosis is approximately 4:1. The diagnostic criteria is based primarily on male samples and does not account for how females present. This may be contributing to later and under diagnosis in females. Dr. Ingrid Boveda recently presented her findings at a conference we attended and we’re excited for you to hear from her. We discuss the differences in behavior and tips for better supporting autistic females.
