Comment on The incidence of autism is similar in boys and girls, although boys are diagnosed earlier
residentoflaniakea@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoWould that not imply that the incident count be lower in women? If they are getting fewer diagnosis than men makes me think that they socially adept better to not qualify, which on the other hand does not diminish their possible suffering.

I would think it would be less severe.
Girls still have Fragile X, just the way it affects them is far less severe than boys, as in there’s no obvious external effects from what I recall. It specifically affects math and spatial skills.
