My thoughts as well
Gotta disagree. If male mean on social niceness is 4 and girls is 6, then why do 5x more boys at 1 get labelled defective than girls at 1? If anything, we'd expect that we'd OVERLOOK some of the 1 and 2 boys as being "very boylike" and nail MORE of the 1,2,3 girls as deviant
The argument wasn't that there are more girls affected than are accounted for, it was that it might actually be rougher for girls who actually are autistic because of how far from the norm they appear to be, and what a minority they are.
If we are "more accepting" of boys with ASD-type behaviors, why are so many boys getting mis-diagnosed with it, and why are we drugging them all up?
