I recently stumbled upon the fact that they are doing studies in Quebec and France about women with autism. It's called "l'Autisme au feminin". You can sign up here.
According to what I've read currently there is 1 woman diagnosed for every 4 men. This is apparently wrong, there should be 1 women diagnosed for every 2 man. Meaning that most women never get diagnosis. Which is sad. Knowledge is everything. I feel so relieved. I spent most of my adult life knowing I was different, thinking I was half assed crazy but never been able to put my finger on it. I feel so much better. I feel like for the first time I see the light. It explains EVERYTHING
This particular study is in French, so you can only participate if you master the French language, but you don't need to have an official diagnosis to participate.
I don't expect to benefit from this study, but hopefully the younger generation of girls will have an easier time getting diagnosis and treatment.
