Sex ratio
G'day,

I removed the statement you placed in the introduction about autism being more common in males. If you look at the epidemiology section, there's a discussion of the sex differences, and it takes the point of view that sex differences vary by severity of diagnosis, making simple statements about gender variability difficult. If you think there should be more information about the sex differences, this'd be the section to put it in. Also, if you are adding a reference to the information, in an article like autism where the references occur in the form of footnoes, it's best to bracket the reference with, where the text in between is your reference. Like this:  Once you've done so, a small marker will appear next to the text that looks like this: as long as there is a bit at the bottom that looks like this:. Thus, my made up Johnson reference looks like this in the text: with a thing at the bottom that looks like this:

You're welcome
