Exploring Gender Differences in the Identification of ASD
According to the most current data from the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC’s) Autism and
Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM), about 1 in 59 children has been identified with
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with a ratio of 4:1 males to females. The Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) acknowledges potential
‘Gender-related diagnostic issues’ in the autism spectrum disorder section, noting potentially
subtler social and communication characteristics. This session will identify and explore emerging
research regarding potential gender differences in the school-based identification of autism under
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
