How do you tell the difference between an autistic man and an autistic women tho?

[Astarlessnightsky]

No, but Autism is 4 times more often found in men. So autism itself is rare and even more rare in women.

its not rare in women. I know at least three autistic women and i dont have to look far. My big sister, my friend and a former classmate. I also know plenty of autistic men.

Are they very masculine or very feminine, are they soft spoken or sort of authoritative aka no high pitch spoken? I've never, or possibly, come across women who could be then again how could anyone tell who's not qualified lol 😆

@paledreams the three neurodivergent women i know are a bit more masculine than your average neurotypical women, but still dress and act very feminine. They are also a bit more straight forward than neurotypicals.

@lin123_ would you say they're sensitive to facial expressions, sensitive to moods or even just anything else different? The forward or direct part i could definitely know of - i wonder why they think that that sort of speaking would get them how far versus speaking nicely gets someone very far, in terms of being humbled and humble :) ah well. I for one know how i'd like to be spoken to nicely I hope vice versa to others I speak nicely as I'd like :) ❤️😊

Hard to say, I'm not a qualified person, yet I guess that's just life. Everyone may as well be an enigma to me lol 😆
