So... Maybe I'm weird, but recently I've become curious about the differences that exist between men and women on the Autism spectrum. As a woman with Autism, I know there are differences that exist because I've observed how people react when I tell them that I have high-functioning Autism. Most people respond with something along the lines of... "Wait, what? YOU have Autism?!" I've also gotten looks that seem to say, "But you're a GIRL." For some reason, society today seems to view Autism as a boy's diagnosis, so to learn more about why this is, I did some research and was intrigued by what I found. If you're curious, I wrote a little about it in a post on my blog.
If you check it out, please leave me some feedback! Also, are there any other women with Autism out there who feel like society views Autism as a male diagnosis? I'd love to hear your experiences
