I was typically social as a toddler. My mum says that looking back, nobody would have even guessed that I had AS or anything, not even a professional neurologist. It wasn't until I started school was when all my AS symptoms all came out at once.
with girls AS is often missed because females develop it differently than males and often the symptoms show up more later. Also girls with AS are sometimes more social so it's not as recognized in them when they are younger and girls tend to mimic socially better than boys so it's easier to miss AS in them. They are much better at becoming social chameleons;
I have been reading some articles about AS in females and this seems to be a common thread in all of the articles. I had posted a couple of good ones on another thread but I can't remember the name of the thread.
