A the out showing symptoms is considerably different between boys and girl . Boys is more out showing and direct so to say so its easier to notice this things. Whereas girls are more subtle in there display of said symptoms and therefore less visible (in my case it took until i got i think 30 (latest evaluation ) before they found out i had ASD as well (obviously i had it from birth but they just hadent discovered it before )
I realize that the display can be different between males and females based on socialization. It could be that girls are able to mask it better than boys can and so it is more difficult to diagnose. However, I believe that age has more impact than the sex someone is when considering a diagnosis. As we grow older, we are forced to adapt and so signs become more subtle. I'm a male and autism was never detected by professionals until I figured it out myself in more recent years and requested an evaluation to confirm it.
B NPD Neurological Psychological Disorders is HIGHLY individual so its therefore as i said harder for even us diagnosed to determan if someone indeed or dont have ASD hence i always suggest see a professional to get evaluated . If this is not possible than yes id say some significant ASD traits are indeed showing in Meza HOWEVER as i as i aid only a professional NSD evaluation can properly determain if a NSD diagnose is the case or not and what cind
In no way am I trying to diagnose someone here. I am only stating which of the behaviors the OP listed I think could be related to ASD. Indeed, there are so many variables to consider that it is impossible for someone to be diagnosed from a forum post. Either 1) an individual connects the dots for themselves or 2) a professional recognizes it.
C its not uncommon to have multiple diagnosis either (infact there is more or less the norm to have utliest two or more) so there may be some added diagnosis to this as well
That's what I meant when I said co-occuring.
