Interestingly, different research studies list the ratio of boys to girls with Aspergers (High-Functioning Autism) as being anywhere from 4-10 to 1. That is, some research suggests that for every 4 boys, there is 1 girl. Other studies suggest that the male population is much higher relative to females.

When i first wanted my daughter evaluated for aspergers i had a school counselor tell me she couldnt have it for 2 reasons. 1 she wasnt a boy and 2 she wasnt obsessive over cars or trains. Lol!

we are going through this exact same thing, with trying to get a diagnosis. Aspiegirls is a great book that talks about the differences by daughters obsession reading. Girls show it differently but the chart and doctors don't acknowledge this often. I talk on my blog about this and what we are dealing with.
Every parent of an aspie has identified that my daughter shows clear signs of aspergers ... In fact my daughter original trip to gp was on the advice of a teacher who had a son with asp ... Two years later educational psychologist sees her and agrees ... However consultant has diagnosed autism as and I quote "she cannot have aspergers because she is female" I was stunned!
Thank goodness! I knew we weren't crazy! I was told its hormones by the CSE office! Since 2nd grade?? She is now in 4th and we are still fighting. Developmental pediatrician is up next!!
