Undiagnosed autism in females refers to a significant yet often overlooked phenomenon where girls and women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) go undetected or misdiagnosed. Historically, ASD has been primarily associated with males, leading to a gender bias in diagnosis and research. Females with autism often exhibit subtler, less stereotypical symptoms, making their condition harder to recognize. They may camouflage or mimic social behaviors, leading to a delayed or missed diagnosis. Undiagnosed autism in females can result in various challenges, including difficulties with social interaction, sensory processing, and mental health. Increasing awareness, understanding, and tailored diagnostic approaches are crucial for identifying and supporting these undiagnosed individuals effectively.
