The omission of autistic women in research; Reasons, effects and solutions

Abstract

The emergence of research on autism in women is a subject that has gained traction in recent years, and the stereotype of the existence or prevalence of autism in men is increasingly dismantled in favor of an equitable view of how autism manifests itself depending on gender. But even with the academic updates, popular knowledge about autism hasn't kept up with this shift.  How best to assist women who are diagnosed as autistic? And how to give them their rightful place in the history of autism after so long omitted from it?
