The Experiences of Late-diagnosed Women with Autism Spectrum Conditions: An Investigation of the Female Autism Phenotype (2016, background): “Furthermore, compared to equivalent males, females with ASC are less likely to have externalising behaviours, such as hyperactivity/impulsivity and conduct problems, and are more vulnerable to internalising problems, such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders (Mandy et al. 2012; Huke et al. 20”
An investigation of the ‘female camouflage effect’ in autism using a computerized ADOS-2 and a test of sex/gender differences (2016, result): “Girls are diagnosed with autism less frequently than their male counterparts, which also results in less research conducted in this patient group to address the issue of sex/ gender-related differences in functioning or clinical manifestation [10 – 13].”
‘Happy and a bit Nervous’: the experiences of children with autism in physical education (2013, background): “Research suggests females and males may differ in exhibited characteristics; for example, parents report females to have less repetitive behaviours and teachers reported females to have less eternalising and social problems than males (Mandy et al. 2012).”
Autistic girls and school exclusion: Perspectives of students and their parents (2017, background): “…behaviour and interests between autistic1 boys and girls (Hiller, Young, & Weber, 2014; Hsiao, Tseng, Huang, & Gau, 2013; Koenig & Tsatsanis, 2006; Mandy et al., 2012), under- or misrecognition of autism in females (Lai et al., 2016), genetics (Lai et al., 2011), developmental differences across…”
Sex/Gender Differences and Autism: Setting the Scene for Future Research (2015, background): “Some have attempted to clarify how males and females with autism are similar or different in behavioral features via meta-analyses, 10 multi-site large datasets, 11,12 and by means of a male/female-balanced design.”
