This is a good paper and easily understood by laypersons with a basic background in science. The issues raised are scientifically valid and the author avoided any political grandstanding. After reading it, I think the first thing that should be done is to develop female-specific diagnostic tools to detect autism since the current tools have low sensitivity for females. This is because such tools are used to recruit study participants and a low detection rate = low numbers of participants meeting the inclusion criteria.

Since autism in females presents differently, we need a place to discuss our own issues and triumphs dealing with Autism.
