Thank you for your comment. You’ve brought up a really interesting perspective on the issue. Hopefully, things will change in the future as more is learned about the condition. This may include changes in terminology too.

There are many boys who are missed because they present in the so-called female way. I am concerned that the assumption many people make is that boys cannot present in a more hidden way. I really wish they would use the terminology of hidden and obvious, rather than make and female, because it does a dis-service to girls who present in a more readily recognised way, and boys who don’t.

Anything that helps spread awareness and understanding of autism and related spectrum disorders and can be instrumental in assisting parents to source targeted help for their children who suffer from these conditions will be a force for good in the matter of helping these young ones to be able to reach their fullest potential and to live happy, fulfilling lives in what is an otherwise challenging environment for them.
