    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview:

    #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.
