Abstract in brief

  • The current autism diagnostic process has biases that can lead to girls and women being diagnosed later or not at all, partly because traditional tools don’t capture the full range of their behavioral symptoms.
  • These biases may happen because girls and women often camouflage or hide their autistic traits, and existing assessments might overlook co-occurring mental health conditions that can mask autism.
  • To improve diagnosis, the review suggests expanding behavioral criteria, considering camouflaging behaviors, and ensuring that mental health issues are carefully differentiated from autism, building on established diagnostic guidelines.]
