In a study published in the National Library of Medicine, the male-to-female ratio of those diagnosed with autism is 3:1.
that misdiagnosis could also happen because"autistic females have characteristics that don't fit with the ASD profile." Plus, women and girls tend to be better at masking or camouflaging symptoms, and teachers underreport autism traits in girls.
Burnett shared her experience with pathological demand avoidance, an autism profile more commonly acknowledged in the UK, that"describes those whose main characteristic is to avoid everyday demands and expectations to an extreme extent," per the"I don't like demands being placed on me, and I avoid them, not because I am being defiant, but because I am just trying to stop being anxious," Burnett says in the video.
Finishing her TikTok, Burnett closes out the almost-two-minute-long video with:"I hope that helped you learn something about autism today." If you think it's possible you could have autism or you would like to know more about the disorder in general, speak to a medical professional who can help you better assess your individual health needs and symptoms.
