Description
Autistic women have long been overlooked by research, leading to devastating consequences. Cognitive neuroscientist Gina Rippon sheds light on this issue, revealing how old ideas about autism have left women behind. She argues that the scientific community must catch up and correct the "male spotlight" problem, which has resulted in biased research and a lack of understanding of autism in women.
