Understanding the Gender Disparity in Autism - A Scientific Approach

Recent studies suggest that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects males more frequently than females. This disparity has triggered a plethora of research focused on exploring the genetic and biological factors underpinning this phenomenon.

One theory attributes the higher prevalence in males to the "male brain hypothesis," suggesting that autistic traits may be an extreme manifestation of male cognitive patterns. This theory is backed up by research indicating a higher level of fetal testosterone in males who later develop autism.

Genetically, some researchers have considered the role of the X chromosome in this gender disparity. Males have one X chromosome (from the mother) and one Y chromosome (from the father), while females have two X chromosomes. It's possible that some of the genes on the X chromosome could be protective against autism, and because males have only one X chromosome, they would have less protection against these genes.

Furthermore, some autism-related genes have been found on the Y chromosome, which could partly explain why males are more often affected.

From a statistical standpoint, the CDC estimates that ASD is 4 times more common among boys than among girls. This statistic further solidifies the higher male prevalence in autism diagnoses.

Although the 'camouflaging' effect, where females may mask or compensate for their autism traits, can influence diagnosis rates, the genetic and biological factors mentioned above provide a solid foundation to understand the underlying male predominance in autism.

Remember, understanding these gender disparities can aid in creating better diagnostic tools and intervention strategies for both genders.

The Handmaid’s Tale Wins Big Again During the Most Political Golden Globes Telecast Ever

Hulu and Amazon had major victories, while Netflix was shut out early

Host Seth Meyers kicked off the Golden Globs by addressing the newly charged atmosphere head-on. “For the men in the audience, this is the first time in three months it won’t be terrifying to hear your name read out loud,” Meyers said during a barbed monologue that took shots at Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Woody Allen. “This is the year of Big Little Lies and Get Out, and also the television series Big Little Lies and the movie Get Out.”

". . . we teach our girls to keep their virginities for boys who didn't keep theirs. We say it doesn't matter if they don't after all there's no oil spillage to determine a boy's virginity unlike the girl child who bleeds. We say it's okay for boys to explore their sexuality but it's not okay for girls to do the same lest they bring reproach to themselves and their families. We raise boys to have effrontery where their guts are not needed. . . __________ . . . the society coerces girls into sexual responsibilities. We teach her to be responsible for every sexual failure of the man. . . why do you think it's easy for us to blame the girl for getting raped? We say it's not about what you like but it's about what your man likes. We say if your man is cheating, you probably ain't giving it to him steady. We say if you're dealing with infertility issues, check yourself first before you check the man. The society says the man is hardly sexually wrong. . ." ~ ©2017.
