Yeah, I think that its more along the lines of the fact that they have not figured out girls are different than boys here. Just as they say the signs of heart attack are different in women, so is autism different in women. There's nothing wrong with that, but science and diagnosing professionals need to get with it and change their perspectives, doing more research perhaps on the traits that women like me have, and use those traits to diagnose further, instead of continually comparing to men.
