The biggest difference between girls or at least the most well known is mimicking a masking that is exclusively in girls. Girls are more likely to mimic around them and try to fit in with everyone around them. Using this to mask autistic symptoms. In science, this means that everyone from parents to teachers, as psychiatrists will find it harder to die to find and recognize girls with autism. All in all, many people might think this is a good thing. But I need to make one thing very, very clear. Girls are just as autistic as boys have the same problems understanding and coping with social situations that normal people don't, and, but no, and have the same signs and symptoms, and are just as amazing without Isabel boys. So, with the symptoms, everything, it is harder to recognize girls and boys started with teachers. Teachers are the ones who usually make referral for neurological disorders. So if they're not the ones that organize autistic symptoms, children are less likely to get a diagnosis for anything. Starting off with teachers, on average, pay less attention to girls since girls are quieter from social pressures than boys, especially autistic girls. And teachers are more likely to focus on the hyperactive voice to or disrupting the class and the girls. In the Rachel hilar seconds study of autism, she interviewed teachers about the conversational skills of a set of girls, teachers found no problems with the conversational skills of half the girls in the set. Well, psychiatrists and professionals only found no problems with the conversational skills of 17% of those same girls. All this means that teachers are less likely to make a referral or even recognize that a girl is autistic in the first place. Getting referral means going to a professional, but personal are also affected by this bias, starting with the very basis of what they diagnose autism with their model. This model is a list of behaviors and science to recognize autism and the extent to entail The extent to how it affects people. But this model is based around boys, for example, hyper fixation, boys are more likely to hyper fixate on things like trains, mechanics and video games, commonly stereotyped ones but more commonly found that boys girls are more likely to hyper fixate on something that's actually not uncommon and new usually not unmanageable, like fashion or collecting shells or stamps. This means this obsession is, is focused, though on it with an artistic intensity and can last from adolescent from preschool years to adolescence. This means that one of the key ticks in the box as professionals have to do fiber fixation often isn't found, and can mean that girls can go misdiagnosed or undiagnosed with autism. The biggest group though affected by this bias is the general public and the media, specifically parents. In the media, a lot of things we see are heavier stereotyped, especially autism. Even autistic boys are heavily stereotyped with what people think autism looks like. But it's always autistic boys in the media. Can you remember one time you've seen an autistic girl on the news, or in a show? Girls with autism are just not recognized by the media. And the parents don't see what an autistic girl looks like compared to an autistic boy. This makes it harder for parents to notice that their girls quirkiness or symptoms, line up with things they've read or seen about autism, and makes them less likely to go in to check if a girl is autistic or not, and can make even girls feel like they don't have autism, or that they're or that people not believe girls to have autism, because they don't line up with the traditional symptoms that people recognize.
