Exceptionally More Autistic Women (EXPLOSIVE)

More autistic women that autism men? You need to see this!

Tens of thousands more women tested themselves for autism last year (2021) with numbers seeking tests now far outstripping men, that some new data shows.

Statistics seen by The Independent news paper in the UK show around 150,000 women took an online test verified by health professionals to see if they have autism last year, up from about 49,000 in 2020.

This means that the number of autistic women in the world will far out number the male population of autistic people.

In recent years the number of female to male diagnosis as gone from 3 times more men diagnosed to just 1 time more men diagnosed.

This new data would be super explosive and shows a lot of issue within the diagnosis process that is currently available.
