“Gender should never be a barrier to receiving an autism diagnosis and access to the right support. Historically, it was wrongly assumed that autistic people were mostly men and boys, but we now know that women and girls are more likely to 'mask' what [are] traditionally thought of as signs of autism, making it harder to identify the challenges they face.”
