| Table of contents: | Autism Spectrum Disorder is one of the most serious neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. The exact etiology remains unknown, but many genetic and non-genetic factors have been identified that, alone or in combination, are involved in the development of ASD. The sex difference in the prevalence ratio has been of considerable research interest as it tends to decrease over time, whereas it used to be quite large. This is explained by the fact that previously it was considered an exclusively male disorder and girls were excluded from studies and at the same time the design of diagnostic criteria was and still is based on the male phenotype. In this paper, we present the differences in clinical presentation in the two sexes based on the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and the differences observed in brain structure and function. It is seen that the experience of the disorder differs between the two genders and that diagnosis holds a crucial role in the mental health of the individual. Unfortunately, the diagnostic process even today is more difficult for girls, and a large proportion of them do not receive a diagnosis or receive an incorrect diagnosis or receive a diagnosis of only the comorbid disorder. Finally, it is worth noting , that the camouflage technique adopted by people with ASD in order to adapt and cope with the everyday social world is more often used by girls because of the particular pressure that society puts on their gender in terms of socialization. |
