aUTISM Facts and STATISTICS
More men and boys are currently diagnosed as autistic than women and girls.
Various studies, together with anecdotal evidence, suggest that the ratio of autistic males to females ranges from 2:1 to 16:1. The most-up-to-date estimate is 3:1.
More than 1 in 100 people in the UK are on the autism spectrum
VIEW
Autism assessment tools are usually based on male characteristics, leading to under diagnosis in females.
Autism is a hidden disability, this means that many cases go undiagnosed
Women and girls are better at masking or camouflaging their difficulties.
