    Research supports that females with ASD display more severe symptoms (Nydén et al., 2000), which could support the idea that both X-chromosomes in females have to be mutated in order for females to develop the disorder. Because the females that are diagnosed with ASD tend to be classified as low functioning more often than males, females require more abnormalities in their genes in order to manifest the symptoms of ASD (Szatmari et al., 2012). In research that looks at family genetic history of ASD, it was found that females with ASD have more first-degree relatives affected by the disorders than males do. Because the family history shows more people affected by the disorder, this reveals that in the females’ families there is more of a genetic…
