My cyncical view is because this is the Atlantic. Less cynically the fact in the article "3-4x more boys have Autism than girls" could justify their contention that it is evenly distributed but girls are only diagnosed in cases with severe autism.
- mar77i 9y agoWell maybe. I'd assume it's more boys, I have something vague in memory about autism being linked to testosterone, but also because men are sort of nature's scratchpad and tend to show more extreme traits than women - which is true in much of the animal kingdom, btw. Women tend to be more average and less freakish and are also more cooperative so they can achieve a stable existence and have a family. A statistically higher percentage of them, anyway, let's not count your crazy ex here.
