## Caption

Girls get diagnosed with autism later than boys, if they get diagnosed at all, even though autism symptoms are nearly indistinguishable between men and women. Societal expectations placed on women play are big role in this, affecting how people react to common symptoms in girls vs men. There’s some serious gender bias going on here that affects the health of many girls, so you better share this with your friends. 

If you’re interested in the topic, you can check out accounts that promote autism in girls awareness, like @autisticgirlsnetwork.
