When I went to an autism training session last year, the speaker thought that girls were definitely under diagnosed. He felt that a girl with Asperger's syndrome might be able to blend in better than a boy would, because he thought there were greater variances in what is percieved as "normal" for girls than boys. I don't know, though.
