| I've met some aspie women and in my experience, many of the traits in asperger females are also present in men. However, they may not be recognised as much because there are differences in how boys and girls are socialised, so even if a girl displays the same traits, it could be overlooked. That's ... |

| Paxfilosoof, you cray cray, stop it. While there is certainly some truth to less girls being diagnosed because less girls demonstrate clinical autistic behavior, your rant is full of misogyny, lack of understanding of statistics, poor logic, and is in general not scientific. Dear Ganondox, 1. Don't... |

| The problem in our interaction is that, you are convinced that autism is a set isolated traits that are 100% correlated (which is a sign of autism complex disorder). We are talking about different things, so I stop trying to convince you that autism is just a set of autistic traits (and an underlyin... |

| "autism" isn't simply autistic traits, it's a "complex condition". No it's not. Autism and neurotypical spectrum are overlapped, and each person has autism/neurotypical traits. Your mistake is that you think autistic behaviors or autistic characteristics lead to a whole complex conditions, but this ... |

| Did it ever occur to you that the same behavior is often interpreted differently in a woman than in a man? I bet every woman is well aware of this. It shouldn't. For example: physical laziness is something some people have and other don't have. It's independent of your gender. Some females are more... |

| The results of this research is true in a collective sense, frequently untrue as to individual people. I guess collective theories could be used as somewhat of a "basis"--but that's it. Yes true, but sometimes collective theories can give you more information on the functioning of an isolated indiv... |

| It's because people feel victimized by the "opposite gender" as a collective entity. These people have to look into themselves, and how they relate to the "opposite gender." I know I had to! I used to be believe in the BS myself. There's a lot of useless theorizing going on, which cuts into the the... |

| Let me say something much more scientific then your speculation (based on a couple of articles form more than 100,000 articles about autism) why "females are underdiagnosed". Some autism characteristics are on different chromosomes then the X and Y chromosome. These characteristics are even in the m... |

| If you've read some of my older posts, you might now that I very much do not buy the extreme male brain theory. I'm going to make it clear now that I'm still throughly convinced autism is NOT an extreme male brain by any means, and it's my belief that the typical autistic brain is more androgynous ... |

| Their is no evidence that autism is different in females, autism = autistic traits, and you have autistic traits or you don't ! Actually there is, there have been some studies where it's been found that females with autism display different trends than males with autism For example, with males, tho... |

| We all are born in this world, without having any sense what the purpose is of living. The purpose of living is definitely not reproduction, because in millions of year, our planet is doomed to be non-existent. The reason why life existed is also not understood. The reason why their are "living" org... |
