onlything liked Tom's post in the thread Who has an Asperger's Diagnosis and is an Autodidact?.

onlything rated Thinx's post Agree in the thread Maybe another reasons girls are less likely to receive a diagnosis??.

I think a very interesting additional point that this thread has brought out is that non-typical boys have also gone undiagnosed and...

I quite fit your 'girl' profile mostly. A quiet child, easy to forget, wouldn't do anything new unless told, spending all days in her...

I think that some girls may present differently to boys, because they are socialised differently and treated differently by most...

YES!! exactly. The boys are usually (not always) the squeaky wheels. :)
