5 Reasons Autism in Girls is Often Missed in Diagnosis

Welcome back to The Aspie World! I'm Dan, and I have autism, ADHD, OCD, and dyslexia, so you're in safe hands here. Today, we're diving into a topic that's both important and frustrating: why autism in girls is often missed during the diagnostic process. If you're an autistic girl or know someone who is, this post is for you. Let's get started! 1. Lack of Training Among Healthcare Professionals One of the main reasons autism in girls is often missed is that many healthcare professionals aren't trained to recognize it. Historically, most of the research and diagnostic criteria were based on observations of boys. Pioneers like Hans Asperger and Leo Kanner primarily focused on males, leading to a skewed understanding of autism.

This lack of understanding increased my anxiety and decreased my confidence. To overcome this, I researched how a car works, focusing on the clut

Do All Autistic People Think The Same?

So do all autistic people think the same? Find out right now! So autism is a neurological developmental condition that impacts people through communication and executive function difficulties. Now because of a diagnosis label people would assume that autistic people have the same thought patterns and also the same way of thinking. But this is simply not true. You see autism is a spectrum disorder meaning that it varies from degrees of support needs from high to low and there are many different types of abilities that come with the different types of diagnostic of autism. Not too autistic people are the same and their brain patterns operate differently. Recent studies and research shows that autistic peoples brain activity varies from individual to individual thus concluding that autistic people do not think the same.
