Sažetak
Many research was conducted regarding autism spectrum disorders. Main goal of these research and samples were various. Some examine families and their wellbeing, other therapy treatments, some are focused on persons with autism spectrum disorders but very little of them are focused specifically on female population with autism spectrum disorders. Main reason is that many girls on autism spectrum disorders are mostly not diagnosed at very young age, but at the adolescence. There are many reasons why girls are not diagnosed or are misdiagnosed: diagnostic instruments are not adjusted to girlʹs behavioral patterns. Also, researchers report on camouflaging autism symptoms in female population. Compared to male population, they show fewer stereotyped and repetitive behaviours but also internalizing behaviors. Therefore, goal of this research was to make a review of research relating to adolescent females with autism spectrum disorders. Why adolescence? Because they are mostly diagnosed at that turbulent and transition age. For the purpose of this research five data bases were reviewed: Google scholar, EBSCO, Taylor and Francis, Scopus and Science direct. Very few met the criteria.
