Why is Autism More Common in Males?

The author of this article believes that childhood testosterone is the cause of autism. The separation between male and female occurs because of an X chromosome instead of a Y and because of this there occurs a series of mutations. The research concluded that females had a larger amount of neurodevelopmental disorders and due to this, the females function a good deal better than males due to similar mutations affecting brain development.

Because of this research, there is a better conclusive nature for the development of more sensitive, genetic-specific approaches for the way researchers screen neurodevelopmental disorders. There’s a good deal of scrutiny that comes with the belief that more males develop autism rather than females developing the disorder. This is due to their respective attitudes when at a young age.
