I think we may never get a result or a research match :( on top of the fact the studies they do all favor late diagnosed women. When will I be spoken about?

You should go look at the percentages from the study on early and late diagnosed women- they really were trying to convey their desired narrative rather than what’s actually there. 68% of early diagnosed autistic women have anxiety with only a 2% difference. Give me a break. They also fail to separate early diagnosed women without any trauma from those with in their studies. They also fail to separate early diagnosed women dx in the 1990s from women diagnosed in 2010 or later. There are many things they’re failing to do. It’s a shame.
