Girls --> more social motivation (as evidence by Chawarska 2016) and my own experience with girls (ES, MW, Am, etc) ----- does this increase in social motivation lead to them attend to language more (conversation with Naigles about importance of helping children with ASD realize value of language and attend to language because they are completely capable of learning...it seems to be more of a fact that they are not attending likely because they do not realize the importance) ------perhaps this is why so many girls without language delays go undiagnosed or get misdiagnosed..more evidence that there are likely more girls with ASD than diagnosed and why the few girls that are diagnosed tend to be more impaired especially in terms of language.
