Autism: it's not just a male thing anymore

from SBS News In Depth

New research shows that the ratio between girls and boys with autism is much closer than once thought. It's understood that the current ratio of males to females with autism is 4 to 1, however, new studies suggests it could be as low as 2 to 1. While this gap is slowly closing, women over the age of forty are becoming one of the key groups to seek diagnosis.
