Abstract

In the last decade, research about distinct female phenotypes in autism spectrum disorders has gained momentum. These patients are often undiagnosed since they do not meet the diagnostic criterion. And since the current standardized instruments are based on the same criterion, these assessments may often lead to false negative results. In clinical settings these patients have a distinct presentation, challenges, and impairments. These findings are useful in understanding, early identification, and effectively treating these individuals. We present a case series to highlight these issues and summarize the recent advances in research.
