Autism: Girls and boys, why the big difference?

5 Live takes an in depth look at autism, specifically how it presents in girls and women. Three quarters of girls with autism may not have been diagnosed with the condition. The N-8 Group, which is a collection of universities in the North of England, also found that ten times as many boys as girls are referred. As part of a day of coverage presenter Clare Mcdonnell visited Limpsfield Grange school in Surrey, the only state school in the UK for autistic girls to meet with students and staff and some goats!

This content forms part of 5 Live's 'Me My Health and I' series and was broadcast during Neurodiversity Celebration Week.
