Despite its limits, the new study does begin to fill in the profile of high-functioning adults who are on the spectrum but living in an ordinary home in the community. Researchers found that they are primarily male and unmarried: about 1.8% of men surveyed were on the spectrum - among never-married, single men, an estimated 4.5% had ASD - compared with just 0.2% of women. (Brugha notes, however, that autism screening tools may be poorly adapted for identifying autism in adult females.) People with autism are less likely than average to have finished college but about as likely...

...lawmaker Stuart Robert believes that physically, women aren't cut out for combat, and says that while Israel's regional threats may justify female combat soldiers, Australia's do not. "It's like putting a woman in the ring with Mike Tyson, or putting them in the Wallabies [a male rugby team]," says Robert. "Why do they separate men and women in the Olympics? Maybe they should all compete in the same events?" Robert believes that even if women do meet the state's test criteria for certain jobs, the reality of war presents a bigger different kind of physical...
...positions makes perfect sense. Australian women already serve in the frontline as fighter pilots and ship commanders, and now they will join the ranks of women in Israel, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Denmark and a handful of European nations who allow females to fight on the grond alongside their male counterparts. There about 10 Western countries who allow women into direct combat. "I don't see why it's an impediment, beyond the short term," says Michael McKinley a Senior Lecturer in International Relations and Strategy at the Australian National University. "You would have to basically train the male soldier...
...Many also argue that women in combat pose a security risk to their nation's mission because as hostages, they are potentially more vulnerable to rape and torture than their male counterparts. "You have to admit that, yes, conceptually, it's more likely that women would be in more danger," says McKinley. "I am not convinced that it would have to be the case, but it is possible." Men, after all, are also subject to sexual assault and abuse as prisoners. For Robert, the question is not so much whether men and women will be treated differently in capture...
