This has the potential to be problematic if funders, decision makers, support services etc only look at the severity of autism characteristics, rather than the impact on everyday life

In this case (using very medical language, apologies for that) we mean specific autism characteristics as per DSM 5

..... the girls (AFAB) tested as less impacted if we only looked at autism symptoms, but their actual needs were just as high as the boys (AMAB). Similarly, there was no differences in tested IQ, but girls were diagnosed later on average

Thanks Gretchen! Adaptive functioning = range of activities of daily living, e.g. communication, self help, safety, motor skills etc. It was interesting that while autism severity was measured higher in boys (AMAB), the impact on daily life was the same across both sexes. So....1/2
