Give the state's recent attempts to interfere in education, I would absolutely not recommend giving personal information to a Florida university.

Let alone the chances of the data being used by RFK and his cronies to create his "list" of autistic people in the US.....
What is the rationale only to include women but not men and non-binaries in this study?
More research is showing that neurodivergent girls and women go undiagnosed more often than their make counterparts, whether that's because of symptoms presenting differently or societal expectations forcing them to self-regulate in a way that's more "socially acceptable."
Think of the selection criteria as filling in gaps in knowledge instead of just widely excluding whole populations.
Then again NB people who were assigned female at birth, socialized to female presentation and presented as female before discovering their NB identities would have faced the same expectations and difficulties. Especially for those of us who are a little bit older the neurodivergence just like non-binary identities didn't really "exist" back in the day (where I've lived at least), we were expected to present as neurotypicals as well as cis, wearing two masks at the same time.
Just forwarded this to my wife. She'll probably be interested.
