Abstract
⺠ASDs show a consistently elevated ratio of males to females among diagnosed cases. ⺠Gender socialization and labeling effects may both contribute to this disparity. ⺠Social developmental environment differs subtly for boys and girls from infancy. ⺠Differential environmental elements could be protective for some at-risk females. ⺠Studies also suggest diagnosis may be more likely in males given symptoms.
