[Girls with subtle autism presentation; case reports]
Background:
Autism is often missed in girls. Their problems may appear more subtle, but their suffering is not less.
Aim:
To describe the diagnostic picture of autistic girls.
Method:
Using retrospective file research, the autism behavioral descriptions of 17 girls aged three to ten were reported.
Results:
There were deficits on the same autism core domains. Girls often had a strong adaptability, and as a result their limitations were expressed differently in different settings.
Conclusion:
For clinicians, it is important to look beyond the technical level of social skills, by more in-depth questioning and by paying attention to the quality of these skills. Clinical expertise in this area is important.
