while the current etmatises have 4 boys diagnosed with AS for every 1 girl, he thinks it should me more like 2:1. But like typical girls are more emotionally/socially aware than typical boys, so are autistic girls to autistic boys, so they don't fit the current criteria as obviously. They recognize they're different and start trying to compensate and, "act as if" from an early age. He said girls tend to not get diagnosed unless they have another mood disorder that gets recognized first, possibly resulting from the stress of trying to blend in, like depression, eating disorders or anxiety disorders.Then he went on to describe what early childhood and school life would be like for a girl with AS, and he was describing my childhood. I texted my husband that it is possible I'm on the spectrum and he texed back, "probably." lol! Since then, I've gone back and forth. I think I'm more the socially anxious peg in a round hole world as you described.Very interesting to think about, though.
