Autism Spectrum Disorder: Asperger's Syndrome and How This Affects Women and Girls Differently To Males
In the past women and girls have been left undiagnosed. Many had been thought of as neurotic and mis-diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder as opposed to Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism). The term autism spectrum disorder sounds like a beautiful array of colour, however, there lies within its spectrum lies Asperger's syndrome.
Predominately thought of as a condition for boys and men, more and more research is finding that women and girls are a hidden sub-culture within the fold of the rainbow. There is a lost generation that, amongst others, Dr Attwood has identified. In his book Asperger's and Girls' he talks about the ground-breaking research that he has enforced.
In this article, we look at what sort of career women with Asperger's syndrome find themselves in. Furthermore, we find out why females are less likely to get diagnosed with the condition than their male counterparts. Dr Tony Attwood is at the centre of this research based article and what he has to say is very enlightening especially for those who have gone through life knowing there was something different about them. Undiagnosed Asperger's women and girls find they have been always seeking but never identifying social problems in their lives.
