Having seen that nerve cells from Autistic individuals have more connections than controls and the brains of autistics tend to be heavier brains than those who don't carry the diagnosis, I've always wondered if brains exhibiting Autism haven't undergone the "pruning" we see in developing brains. That might explain the childlike repetitive behaviors of the autistic and their greater response to sensory stimuli...
i do not like him he seems very regimented and for an expert he should already know it is different in females so should not be more common i would say if you are not british then all british people as a culture have autism , it is an autistic culture
@@dianalee1589 Interesting. I once read a comment by a German who thought that Germany was an "autistic" country. I think you could say the same for much of Northern Europe tbh esp Scandinavia. Even though the term and the man have been discredited, it's no surprise that Mr Asperger was Teutonic.
Extremely interesting! I'm a 60 year old gay Asperger male and I'm not only fascinated by scientific ‘material’ patterns but I’m also drawn to analyze patterns in human emotion and behavior. The latter irritates me tremendously by the way. I actually consider it a curse.

What you might see more of in women is non-launguag learning disability in women. I have autistic traits and a female friend with NLLD. It seems to me this disablity would be a female track that autism may take. I had delay in talking, good spacial skills but poor coordination and social skills. My friend had precocious language skills but deficits in spatial skills and structure thinking. Actually more complicated than that but there appeared to be a shift in female trates to the point of disability. What I found interesting is my friend did not have problems in early schooling like I did but started having trouble later in schooling when more thought was needed in assignments. Solving problems and getting higher level concepts would excape her. So if this is how autism is expressed more often in females then females often would not be noticed as having problems in the early grades and may simply thought of kind of a dingbat in later schooling but not thought of as having a disability. I think this might be part of the discrepancies between male and female having autism it that it might be displaying differently in the sexes.

It is because the first researchers to describe the externally observable differences between schizophrenia and autism did so using a pre-teen or teen male sample set. Since girls express the challenges differently, they don't "fit the mold" of boy-behavior.

You seriously believe the worlds leading experts on a condition are all utterly wrong, and two sentences about vague sexism are all a person needs to know?
I agree. That applies across other conditions as well. There is a history of women not uncommonly being excluded in medical research trials resulting in their needs being overlooked.
Can I ask a question why would a doctor laugh when I explained I have to write things down because of my bad short term memory due to Asperger's ? The doctor was a man perhaps he was Aspie

Who gives. Males are more impacted since they are already at a disadvantage socially even as neurotypicals in todays day and age. Let alone the autistic males that just dont get it. I will NEVER shut up about this point, it is way more damaging and harder on the MALE sex! Women almost always have outlets and support systems men can only dream of, especially autistic males that have felt worthless their entire lives. Its a cruel tragedy that, as always, women seem to be the most affected. Its disgusting that they also overshadow the TH-cam search algorithms with their performative "look at how quirky i am checklist" bullshit that is just anotherr grift for their pathetic need to be the center of attention all the damn time. They overshadow the actual good MALE content creators that are way more relatable. Girl power my ass. I wish they would all eff off to some desginated hen island and leave us at peace.
I did not listen to the talk but the title is stupid , if this expert does not know that autism is different in females therefore one cant say it is more common in males
seriously..... you are commenting on the title to say he's wrong without listening to what he's said. Jesus Christ. This man is the authority on autism as we currently understand it. If you know anything about autism it is likely because of his work. He has devoted his entire life to it and this is well known. Autism is under-diagnosed in females, but the 4:1 ratio is too great to account for missed diagnoses. Autism is more prevalent in males by a wide margin.
My man, autism is not "different" in females. Autism is an umbrella of behaviors, turns out males tend to exhibit these behaviors more often. Autism still exists in females, but females dont statistically present behaviors that is thay of autists.
Of course men outnumber women in autism, as we observe that men outnumber women among non-speakers. You can't "mask" nonverbal autism, that totally dispels this myth that the numbers should be equal, or even close, which they're not

Thank goodness for science like this
this guy is viewed as controversial in the field of autism cause his theories are considered to be bogus
Is it only me or other have same feeling? Simon seems himself to be on spectrum with monolithic talk.

whats the name of the song used for the intro?? its sooo cool
😂
I played with cars and garages and cowboy and Indian figures with my brother
I'm so grateful Simon seems similarly disgusted by Aspergers Erausre.
Don't the males of some primate species consider eye contact to be a threat? Very interesting that testosterone reduces eye contact.
Would be very helpful !! to see the slides he is describing.....otherwise great!
The slides were very clearly shown
I want to listen to this so bad but the amount of whistling he does when he says "S" sounds is driving me insane
I definitely had high testosterone
8:30 Can a baby see any detail at day 1
Where are the slides?
21:10 I would say that's skewed rather than shifted.

Yes, it almost does to me.
