It is widely reported that autism spectrum conditions have historically been diagnosed up to 10 times more in males than in females. However, recent research has challenged the view that autism is a predominantly “male” disorder, suggesting that autism presents differently in females. Not only may autism present differently, but females may also be using (conscious or unconscious) strategies to mask their autistic characteristics and “fit in”, a process known as camouflaging. This has clear implications for the ability to recognise or diagnose their autism and impacts the opportunity to access vital and timely supports. As camouflaging can be effortful and tiring for autistic girls and women, there are suggestions that it may lead to potentially serious long-term consequences for mental health and well-being, although research exploring the impact of camouflaging is in its infancy. Whilst a couple of studies have interviewed parents of autistic girls about their daughters’ camouflaging, a thorough review of the current literature revealed a gap in the research, in that no research has been conducted on camouflaging that has purposefully included autistic mothers as participants. With many autistic females becoming mothers themselves, it is vital to explore research from the perspective of both autistic and neurotypical mothers. This combination of two new and emerging research areas means that this study will not only contribute to the growing body of research specifically on the camouflaging experience of autistic girls but will also explore similarities or differences between the perceptions of autistic and non-autistic mothers.
