在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者中发现了关于认知性别差异的不一致发现。这项研究评估了在一个大的临床样本诊断为ASD的幼儿认知发展功能的性别差异。样本包括2007年至2013年通过自闭症治疗网络（ATN）网站接受马伦早期学习量表（MSEL）的18-68个月的儿童（N = 1587，16.7%女性）。在美国ASD幼儿的大型临床参考样本中，没有发现MSEL早期学习综合（ELC）标准评分，域T评分或年龄等效值的性别差异。当检查不同的年龄范围，认知水平和领域概况时，这些发现仍然存在。
Inconsistent findings regarding sex differences in cognition have been found in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study evaluated sex differences in cognitive-developmental functioning in a large clinical sample of young children diagnosed with ASD. The sample included children 18-68 months of age who received the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) through Autism Treatment Network (ATN) sites from 2007 to 2013 (N = 1587, 16.7% female). In this large clinically referred sample of young children with ASD in the United States, no significant differences were found between the sexes for the MSEL Early Learning Composite (ELC) standard score, domain T Scores or age equivalents. These findings persisted when examining different age ranges, cognitive levels and domain profiles.
