Abstract

Autism spectrum condition (ASC) is predominantly diagnosed in boys and men. There is evidence that this is also because girls and women with ASC don't receive a diagnosis, or, if they do, only later in life. This study investigates gender differences in diagnosis, support needs, mental health, and life satisfaction among individuals with autism spectrum condition (ASC) in Germany. Data of an online questionnaire study with 659 persons with ASC from 3-67 years of age living in Bavaria, Germany, were analyzed (215 thereof were female). It was found that women with ASC are diagnosed 7-11 years later than men and are more likely to receive at least one misdiagnosis. They are more likely than men to have unmet educational support needs and comorbid internalizing psychiatric disorders. The results of this study point towards a strong gender bias in clinical diagnosis of ASC in Germany and need for improvements in the case of women.

[自闭症诊断中的性别差异]。
自闭症谱系障碍(ASC)主要在男孩和男性中诊断。有证据表明,这也是因为患有ASC的女孩和妇女没有得到诊断,或者即使得到诊断,也只是在以后的生活中。本研究调查了德国自闭症谱系障碍(ASC)患者在诊断、支持需求、心理健康和生活满意度方面的性别差异。对居住在德国巴伐利亚州3-67岁的659例ASC患者(其中215例为女性)进行在线问卷调查。研究发现,患有ASC的女性比男性晚7-11年被诊断出来,并且更有可能至少被误诊一次。她们比男性更有可能有未满足的教育支持需求和共病的内化精神障碍。本研究结果指出,在德国ASC的临床诊断中存在强烈的性别偏见,需要改善女性的情况。
