However, current conceptualisations of ASC have been developed predominately from samples of males, meaning our understanding of the condition may be male-biased (Kirkovski, Enticott, &amp; Fitzgerald, 2013). Consequently, ASC in females may be under-diagnosed because current assessments are based on a male-specific manifestation of the condition (Mandy et al., 2012). This paper begins with a review of qualitative literature exploring the experiences of females with ASC. Building upon identified themes, quantitative research is reviewed to ascertain whether there are sex\/gender differences in four areas of the hypothesised ASC female phenotype. Preliminary evidence suggests there may be sex\/gender differences in ASC, but more research is needed to fully substantiate this conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Wood, H., &amp; Wong, B. (2017).
