Sex-Related Cognitive Profile in Autism Spectrum Disorders Diagnosed Late in Life: Implications for the Female Autistic Phenotype / Fritz-Georg LEHNHARDT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-1 (January 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-1 (January 2016) . - p.139-154 Titre : Sex-Related Cognitive Profile in Autism Spectrum Disorders Diagnosed Late in Life: Implications for the Female Autistic Phenotype Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fritz-Georg LEHNHARDT, Auteur ; Christine Michaela FALTER, Auteur ; Astrid GAWRONSKI, Auteur ; Kathleen PFEIFFER, Auteur ; Ralf TEPEST, Auteur ; Jeremy FRANKLIN, Auteur ; Kai VOGELEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p.139-154 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autisme féminin  Autism spectrum disorder  Adulthood  Cognitive profile  Female autistic phenotype  Processing speed Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Females with high-functioning ASD are known to camouflage their autistic symptoms better than their male counterparts, making them prone to being under-ascertained and delayed in diagnostic assessment. Thus far the underlying cognitive processes that enable such successful socio-communicative adaptation are not well understood. The current results show sex-related differences in the cognitive profile of ASD individuals, which were diagnosed late in life exclusively. Higher verbal abilities were found in males (n = 69) as opposed to higher processing speed and better executive functions in females with ASD (n = 38). Since both sexes remained unidentified during childhood and adolescence, these results are suggestive for sex-distinctive cognitive strategies as an alternative to typically-developed reciprocal social behavior and social mimicry in high functioning ASD.
