When doctors were studying autism, they only studied males.

醫生在研究自閉症時，只研究男性。

This makes it harder for anyone else to be diagnosed because everything is based off the male brain.

這使得其他人更難被診斷出來，因為一切都基於男性的大腦。

Girls usually end up showing different trades than guys deal, which is why it could take us years to get diagnosed.

女生通常最終表現出與男生交易不同的行業，這也是為什麼我們可能需要幾年時間才能得到診斷。

I was 15 when I got diagnosed, and that's considered early for a girl.

我被診斷出來的時候是15歲，這對一個女孩來說算是早的了。

I have a guy friend who's autistic, and he was two when he got diagnosed a main reason as to why girls are solely to get diagnosed.

我有一個男生朋友是自閉症患者，他被診斷出來的時候是兩歲，至於為什麼女生完全是為了被診斷出來的一個主要原因。

It's because we are particularly good at one thing that guys are not so good at when it comes to autism, and this is something we call masking.

因為在自閉症的問題上，我們特別擅長一件事，而男生卻不擅長，這個東西我們叫掩飾。

Masking is basically just being like a really good actor.

掩飾基本上就是像一個真正的好演員。

It's where you take traits that everyone else is showing and start portraying them as yourself.

這就是你把別人都表現出來的特質，開始描繪成自己的樣子。

It's like a lot of copy and going on, but in your mind you don't think you're copying.

就像很多的複製和繼續，但在你的心裡你不認為你在複製。

You think that this is normal and everyone feels the same way that you dio you basically feel like an alien and you're really good at hiding that, which is why I don't seem autistic, autism and girls part to this one's kind of autism in general, but I feel like a lot of them are.

你認為這是正常的，每個人都有同樣的感覺，你dio你基本上覺得自己是一個外星人，你真的很善於隱藏這一點，這就是為什麼我似乎不是自閉症，自閉症和女孩的部分，這個是一種自閉症的一般，但我覺得很多人都是。

But a lot of it is just like my opinion because I am a girl, get high functioning and low functioning out of your vocabulary.

但很多都是像我的觀點，因為我是女生，把高功能和低功能從你的詞彙中去掉。

I know you might think that, like saying like Oh, you're high functioning is a compliment.

我知道你可能會認為，就像說哦，你的功能很強是一種讚美。

It's actually like a reminder that I'm just masking and it's so hard.

其實這就像是在提醒我，我只是在蒙面，而且很辛苦。

Masking is the most exhausting thing in the world.

It's my New Year's resolution, actually to not mask.

這是我的新年決心，其實就是不戴面具。

That means showing my autistic traits and not, you know, pretending like I'm someone I'm not.

這意味著要表現出我的自閉症特徵，而不是，你知道，假裝我是一個我不是的人。

And just being more of myself, High functioning is basically a label that you can use to be like, Oh, you're autism doesn't affect me that much.

而只是做更多的自己，高功能基本上是一個標籤，你可以用這樣的方式，哦，你的自閉症對我影響不大。

But I'll tell you, everyone you think is high functioning is greatly affected by their autism.

但我要告訴你，每一個你認為是高功能的人，都會受到他們自閉症的極大影響。

It's just like a little micro aggression that is really really it sucks, Okay, There's no such thing as high functioning and low functioning.

這就像一個小的微侵略，是真的真的它很爛，好吧，沒有所謂的高功能和低功能。

We're all just autistic common traits for girls that have autism.

我們都只是自閉症女孩的共同特徵，有自閉症的女孩。

Now a lot of the following pertain to me.

A lot of them also don't pertain to me, okay?

And this is totally broad because everyone's different.

而這完全是寬泛的，因為每個人的情況都不一樣。

Okay, remember that a lot of people, when I think of autism, think of like less social, not super good in social situations and a lot of girls and why it's so hard for us to get diagnosis.

好吧，記得很多人，當我想到自閉症的時候，就會想到比如說不太會社交，不善於社交場合，還有很多女孩子，為什麼我們很難得到診斷。

It's also very common for girls with autism to have other mental disabilities or mental disorders as well.

患有自閉症的女孩還有其他精神障礙或心理障礙也是非常常見的。

I have seven yummy and one of the main ones ISO CD.

我有七個好吃的，其中一個主要的是ISO光盤。

All of these mental illnesses stem from having autism, but O.

這些精神疾病都源於有自閉症，但O。

Anxiety and depression are very, very common, especially in girls, just the feeling that the world needs rules for you to understand it.

焦慮和抑鬱是非常非常常見的，尤其是女生，只是覺得這個世界需要規則讓你去理解。

 That's why a lot of autism special interests include things like anatomy of the human body psychology, just figuring out how the world works our way to figure out how to live in it. 

所以很多自閉症的特殊興趣包括人體解剖學心理學等，只是想知道這個世界是如何運作我們的方式，想知道如何在其中生活。
