Abstract in brief

  • The study highlights that having an official autism diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention and better mental health outcomes, but certain groups like females and minority youth face delays in diagnosis.
  • Data from the National Survey of Children's Health (2016-2021) shows that 1 in 38 children are diagnosed with autism, with males diagnosed more often than females (38 males for every female).
  • The research found that some females, especially non-Hispanic white, Black, and Asian girls, experience longer delays in diagnosis, while minority groups tend to get diagnosed earlier, possibly due to differences in how autism presents across different races and ethnicities.
