In this week’s podcast, I semi-plagiarize from a recent summary of sex differences in ASD, written by Drs. Meng-Chuan Lai and Peter Szatmari from the University of Toronto. They delve into why more males are diagnosed with females, and differences in the presentation of those features of ASD that differ between males and females. These include camouflaging, differences in language style, differences based on behaviors determined by sex, and associated features like anxiety and internalizing behaviors. Thank you to the authors for putting together the information in a way that makes sense.
