As most of my readers know, girls with Asperger's syndrome tend to be misdiagnosed, or go undiagnosed altogether. Asperger's and autism are generally thought of as "male disorders" that girls cannot have, or rarely have.

Here is an article about the differences between boys and girls who have Asperger's and why so many Aspie girls go undiagnosed:

It is important that Aspie and Autie girls get the diagnosis so that they can get the help and support that they need to be successful later in life.

Here is a video about little girls on the specturm:

Thanks for posting this. My 10 year old daughter has Asperger's and I still get people who don't believe it. It is very frustrating to deal with people who don't take Asperger's seriously.
