Detailed explanation-1: -A substantial amount of research shows a higher rate of autistic type of problems in males compared to females. The 4:1 male to female ratio is one of the most consistent findings in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Detailed explanation-2: -Boys with autism tend to have very repetitive and limited areas of play. Girls with autism are less repetitive and have broader areas of play. Girls with autism are more likely than boys to be able to respond to non-verbal communication such as pointing or gaze following.
Detailed explanation-3: -Autism affects females, too-it just affects them differently. Sometimes symptoms don’t show up in the same way they do in boys. In some cases they are more severe; in others, they’re less obvious.
