Mr. Peter Brabazon:

One of the big challenges in respect of diagnoses is that females tend to be diagnosed more than ten years later than comparable males. We often get candidates who are working. We do consultancy for companies who come to us to ask can we help. The challenge often relates to women who are in college. They are people who often lose out on opportunities. Most of them have masked their autism by copying other females. They are very good at modelling what goes on around them. There are different challenges, even according to what sex we are dealing with.
