Two weeks ago I had the chance to be at Tony Attwood’s conference about Asperger’s Syndrome in Zürich. He is great at speaking and holding the interest with humor and an uncomplicated language style. I have really ejoyed it.
Particularly I was fascinated by the profile of girls with Asperger’s. The statistic says that there are more males being diagnosed with some form of autism. What we do not know is that girls are better in adapting and “may be more difficult to recognize and diagnose due to coping and camouflaging machanisms”*.
Are statistics what we really need to understand people?
