    Arch Sex Behav 41:571-81. 2012
    ..These results indicate that FT has a significant role in some aspects of cognitive development but that further work is needed to understand its effect on the different aspects of visuospatial ability...

    J Autism Dev Disord 39:1509-21. 2009
    ..Empathy and systemizing in children show similar patterns of sex differences to those observed in adults. Children with ASC tend towards a 'hyper-masculinized' profile, irrespective of sex...

    Bonnie Auyeung
    Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

    Simon Baron-Cohen
    Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
    PLoS Biol 9:e1001081. 2011
