Overview

Narrative review highlights diagnostic issues in women with ASD, suggesting improvements in screening tools.

Key Points

  • Previous psychiatric diagnoses complicate accurate diagnosis of autism in women, worsening mental health outcomes.
  • A narrative synthesis reviewed existing research on screening tools for autism, emphasizing their limitations for female patients.
  • Improvements in diagnostic practices are necessary to recognize female-specific presentations of autism spectrum disorder.
