TL;DR: The first systematically calculated estimate of the relative proportion of boys and girls with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through a meta-analysis of prevalence studies conducted since the introduction of the DSM-IV and the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision is derived.

TL;DR: This systematic review and meta-analysis searched for publications between Jan 1, 1993, and Feb 1, 2019 in English or French that reported original research using an observational design on the prevalence of co-occurring mental health conditions in people with autism and reported confirmed clinical diagnoses of the co- Occurring conditions and autism using DSM or ICD criteria.

TL;DR: Training would improve teachers’ and clinicians’ recognition of ASC in females, so that timely identification can mitigate risks and promote wellbeing of girls and women on the autism spectrum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the presence and stability of these ASD sex differences throughout childhood and adolescence and found that females had less repetitive stereotyped behaviour (RSB), with male-equivalent levels of social and communication impairment.

TL;DR: Examination of camouflaging experiences in 92 adults with ASC found that motivations for camouflaging included fitting in and increasing connections with others, and short- and long-term consequences of camouflage included exhaustion, challenging stereotypes, and threats to self-perception.
