Sex differences on the ADOS-2
Open accessAbstract
The sex difference in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be magnified by sex differences on diagnostic measures. The current study compared autistic males and females on items on the gold-standard diagnostic measure, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2). In a sample of 8-to-17-year old autistic individuals from research (n = 229) and clinical settings (n = 238), females were less likely to show atypicalities on most items related to social-communication behaviors and on total and subscale scores. When controlling for overall intensity of symptomatology, no sex differences survived statistical corrections. Diagnostic criteria and/or gold-standard assessments may be less sensitive to female presentations of ASD and/or autistic females may exhibit fewer or less intense behaviors characteristic of ASD.

Because diagnostic criteria are based on the much more prevalent male presentation, girls who present somewhat differently are likely underdiagnosed.
“Since diagnostic criteria are based on the much more prevalent male presentation, it is likely that girls, who present somewhat differently, are underdiagnosed (38).”
From Where Sex Meets Gender: How Sex and Gender Come Together to Cause Sex Differences in Mental Illness (2022) · cites this paper as [38]
The Introduction reports a male-to-female autism diagnosis ratio of 3.5–4 to 1 and describes female presentations that may be missed by criteria or assessments hypothesized to be based on males. The Discussion and Summary and Conclusions say existing assessment algorithms may underdiagnose females. The claim overstates the paper’s qualified account by treating the male basis of diagnostic criteria, rather than criteria or assessments, as established. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
