Quoted By:
Autism is seen as the “extreme male brain” by some. For many traits, there is a pattern of female – male – autistic male, as you can see in the picture. Autistic females fall around the same area as normal males. You can see that autistic women like Temple Grandin, Marie Curie and Florence Nightingale have more masculine features. Other famous people with autism include Bobby Fischer, Isaac Newton and Lionel Messi.
The increase in autism diagnoses may be due to:
- Everyone trying to get government bux
- Greater awareness of autism
- OR seeing autism as a condition that needs support rather than natural variation in humans
