This is just nonsense. Every last bit of it. I know exactly what autism is... My wife is a aspie girl. She is on the spectrum. I used to care for autistic adults when i was younger. Autism is so incredibly over used.
What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent article were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this site is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

This is what happens when you have no 'downvoting' or another way for people to quickly and easily show disapproval, which in turn, when a terrible statement is made or somebody starts spouting crap like this, people quickly see a consensus of 'eew' type reaction and are saved the trouble of becoming 'mired in the muck' of idiocy and avoid it, which by the way GAG!, often becomes something identified with the platform it is trumpeted on.
This take is offensive to men, autistic men, women with autism, and probably retards as well. After all, who would want 'one of their own' writing this shit.
Are you serious? "This may help explain why boys are underachieving in the educational environment." So when women were not doing aswell as men in education it ws all the system and sexisms fault, but now that girls are doing better than boys at every level of school, it's because men's brains are weird. Actually it's more likely because the school system in many countries has been geared towards girls and sees boys as defective girls.
Tought this was clickbait. Actually wasn't click bait. Two things: one, men aren't as social as women, because most men prefer the company of their REAL friends rather than getting attention from a bunch of random people. Am talking about the majority , not all. And two, men keep their friends and have much stronger bonds than women , from what i see. Women tend to be all lovey dovey And then not speak to each other ever again two months later, whereas for a guy, a bro will always be a bro regardless if they always talk or even get to be together. Unless he does something absolutely unforgivable , like trying to kill your mom or something. Oh, and i also didn't quite like the way you associated a lack of empathy with the whole male gender. thats not true. The only thing really positive i have to say is the take was written really good.
Title: "All Men Are Autistic" Conclusion: "Personally, I don't think all men are autistic" Great. Just great.
By the way, I may not be your typical autistic person (mainly because I struggle with my gender immensely, and that kind of goes against the whole idea of "exaggerated male preferences") but I can identify with many of the traits you listed (except for "Finds it easier to socialise with people that are older or younger" — can't say that I've ever experienced that). I understand that these are similar to general "male" stereotypes. But why exactly is that? Are autistic men just a loud minority or something? Most of the traits you listed all sound like they could apply to someone with autism to me, but nowhere like the "stereotypical male". ("Difficulty in making friends or interacting during social events"? I know plenty of men who will disagree.)
All you did was list symptoms of autism and cite studies that say it occurs at a greater rate in males. Nowhere is there evidence for all or even the majority of males being autistic, and you delve into anecdotal bullshit about guys not stopping for directions, etc.
And, against all chances, we have got this long post written by an autistic-like woman.
Boy.
But you did one good thing in the process: you listed a ton of characteristic of genius, and stated, correctly, they associate much more with men. So if somebody isn't very observant, reads no serious books, has little familiarity with the history of arts and sciences, doesn't follow Nobel events, and so on, you'll help them realize some things.
This posts ends up being useful, though not in the way it was intended.
I feel genuine pangs of compassion when I encounter those with autism who are obviously struggling. People can be very un-empathetic when it comes to humans who don't fit the regular mould.
Tch... tell me about it. I put so much fucking effort into trying to forge relationships. I often feel like I'm being too needy and just quit. That and I lose motivation. Only have like 2 or 3 people I can honestly call friends. 2 of which are many miles apart now.
If anything is responsible it's feminism, social justice warriors, media, social media and society in general. And I could post several videos to back up that claim if you'd like.
I just pointed out this guy was clearly being satirical about the post. Why do you say honey? I thought that was a personal thing I don't know you and it seems weird.
Before thinking that men are autistic in general, perhaps you should looking more intot he CAUSES of anti-social and anti-empathic behaviors in men. Do a google search for Male Conditioning, and start from there.
THEN, you'll have a much better idea of why many men behave the way they do.
As someone judged for my rational thought and empathy, to be weak even though I am all man with faults and imperfections. I believe most negative behavior is learned and can be changed by careful self examination and possibly some loving guidance. As I strive to be the best me I can be. I appreciated this my take because it is food for thought. hugz n smiles 🍀🐶🍀💘
You probably love your autistic (future) boyfriend/husband (and your future autistic sons) (and your autistic father).
Yes, we are autistic. All of us are. Because penis is bad. Ring and arrow is a symbol for autism.
Sincerely, Austistic Unit1.

i'm not. my mother had me tested. seriously, males are more likely to have congenital disporders than females even when they aren't associated with allosomes. there's much more variety among men whereas women tend to stay closer to the average. you have much more males than female geniuses, much more male retards than female retards. and about typical male behaviour being similar to autism, that's true only in america, where new wave feminism paradoxically re-introduced gender roles and any man showing a bit of cuteness and altruism or simply stoppoing being an alpha male dick is labelled as a unmanly. trust me, it's so different here in Europe (as long as you stay away from slavic nations). American culture is beastly and barbaric. that's all

Not ALL men but autism is indeed more common among males: www.elsevier.com/.../study-reveals-why-autism-is-more-common-in-males
"Already I can hear the sound of outraged fingers violently hitting the keys in response to such a claim... but have a read first..."
Well what the fuck do you expect when you name the article "All men are autistic" even when you yourself know that it isn't true.
This could have been an interesting article but you ruined it with your gender/clickbaiting bullshit.

Glad I managed to get such a wide spectrum of people on my offend list...

0/10, awful clickbait take, would not read again
Total clickbait title...

I didn't know I was diagnosed with autism until about a year ago. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
Christ... it's such a lonely, sad road. Feels like no one wants to talk to you or be around with you. It's heart breaking.
I feel genuine pangs of compassion when I encounter those with autism who are obviously struggling. People can be very un-empathetic when it comes to humans who don't fit the regular mould.
Tch... tell me about it. I put so much fucking effort into trying to forge relationships. I often feel like I'm being too needy and just quit. That and I lose motivation. Only have like 2 or 3 people I can honestly call friends. 2 of which are many miles apart now.
Numbers are not important when it comes to friendship. I don't have many friends, but the ones I do have are real friends...
I know... but even then it's still difficult to stay in touch with them. Often I just feel like I'm all on my own.
That's life for a lot of people, with or without autism.
Nope.
If anything is responsible it's feminism, social justice warriors, media, social media and society in general. And I could post several videos to back up that claim if you'd like.
Oh lordy... you better start a new account before you post again because your credibility is shot.

Clearly a sign that you're autistic, because you're unable to express yourself linguistically. Better see a doctor about that.
@HikerDude lol, whatever you say, honey.
you missed the sarcasm.
@Josht13 lol, whatever you say they say, honey.
I just pointed out this guy was clearly being satirical about the post. Why do you say honey? I thought that was a personal thing I don't know you and it seems weird.
@Josht13 do you understand patronization? Because that's what I'm doing.
I said that it was patronizing to one girl but then she said it wasn't and she says it normally to people so how the fuck would I know.
Pyschologists have a little too much liberty these days.
"Doctor, I have terrible news. I think I'm autistic..."
"Shut up no you're not..."
"But I was reading this article by a psychiatri-"
"They're just trying to find an excuse to make you purchase their drugs. Now stop being a baby and come back when you have an actual problem..."
I didn't even bother finishing to read this.
Before thinking that men are autistic in general, perhaps you should looking more intot he CAUSES of anti-social and anti-empathic behaviors in men. Do a google search for Male Conditioning, and start from there.

I'm fully aware what that is.

This is like saying that all women are bipolar because they tend to be more emotional than men...
I stopped reading when you confused empathy with sympathy.
Not to Mentone that women average 5 points lower in iq than men do, are represented SIGNIFICANTLY less at the high end of the IQ scale.
So, the day I listen to a woman about social constructs or anything of the sort will be 2 days after I die.
