If you have both a boy and a girl with ASD do you find that their symptoms present similar or different? I have 2 boys with ASD and a 18 month old girl who has some symptoms but isn't necessarily screaming ASD like my boys were at that age. I know some people say it presents different in boys and girls I'm curious what some of you have experienced with your kids.

Of course it presents different. Neurotypical boys and girls also present differently, in how they think, perceive the world, their interests etc.

Girls are often more social adept, better at masking, and have gender and age appropriate special interests. That's just a few of the more common differences.
