    Males are most likely to have autism compared to females. Research has consistently shown that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is more prevalent in males. The exact reasons for this gender disparity are not fully understood, but it is believed that biological and genetic factors may play a role. Additionally, females might be underdiagnosed or have different presentation of symptoms, leading to a lower reported prevalence. Nonetheless, the higher occurrence of autism in males is a well-established finding.

Parents often face unique challenges in understanding and addressing their child's specific needs, navigating the healthcare and educational systems, and dealing with the emotional and financial stress associated with raising a child with autism.
