Autism is disproportionately diagnosed in males over females, possibly because of genetic and neurological protective effects but also because of biases in the way in which clinicians and the community view autism as a “male” disorder. In this presentation, we will review the recent research on females with Autism and focus on females with Autism from a cultural and clinical perspective. We will discuss how Autism may present differently in females compared to males, identify the challenges detecting Autism in females and identify the unique strengths and supports for females with ASD. In addition, Dr. Harrington will join the presentation as a community partner to provide additional commentary on autism in females.
