What triggers mood swings in a girl with Turner Syndrome?
Girls born with Turner's syndrome are born with only one x chromosome instead of the average two x chromosomes. Mood swings are apparent in all females, however, a chromosomal disorder such as Turner's syndrome can cause one's emotions and chemical make-up to be a little out of whack and this causes more frequent, intense mood swings. This could also be linked to a personality disorder as well, not just the fact that people with Turner's syndrome are missing their second x chromosome.

Females are not more likely to get Down's syndrome. Down's syndrome is slightly more common among males with most studies showing about 106 to 125 boys for every 100 girls.

Asperger's Syndrome is diagnosed more often in males than in females. This could be because it occurs more often in males or it could be because it is not as easy to diagnose in females. For example, it is more likely to prompt concern if a boy seems withdrawn than if a girl seems "shy." As another example, it seems that the special interests of boys and girls differ, so a boy who is extremely interested in firearms will bother parents more than a girl who is extremely interested in horses, so they might discuss the boy with the doctor but not the girl.
