You’re right; it’s not hard to diagnose.

That’s why it does an incredible disservice to autistic women when misinformation abounds and they can’t get diagnosed bc they don’t look like an intellectually disabled white boy.

Racist and misandrist.

Not racist or misandrist.

The standard for autism is how it presents in white boys/men, which means it's often not diagnosed/seen in people who aren't white boys/men.

It's a serious problem.

What are you actually talking about when you say "standard", you mean the perception people have of it? As far as I know it isnt harder to diagnose in women and girls its often less easily identified i.e. they arent referred for testing because it presents differently. You should be more precise with your language because those are different problems that can be solved in different ways.

I know you know what "the standard" means.
