Girls are four times less likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than boys, but the reason for this sex disparity is unclear. Researchers have begun to measure how girls and boys with ASD are similar, and how they are different. In this enlightening workshop, Dr. Parish-Morris will address recent studies of social perception, language and camouflaging in girls with ASD and discuss implications for diagnosis and treatment planning.
