Nothing said about boys. We have to deal with it to.

Truly enraging considering that autism happens 4 times more to men, and that autistic women are pampered by their quirkness whilst men are shamed for it. These people surely love to do mental gymnastics.

i) When an Autistic girl presents typical Autistic traits, She faces pressure to act like none-autistic girls.

ii) When an Autistic boy presents typical Autistic traits, he is punished and put on drugs to control his behavior.

Have a guess which one has the privilege?

Tbf idk how Women treat autistic Women in Highschool but us guys all treated the Special Needs bros like family. No expectations of anything just be you and we got you. A lot of "Women's" issues are just other Women being toxic to Women.

aren't all autistic people "pressured" to act less autistic?

Does exactly the same pressure not apply to boys?

As an autistic person, frankly, being autistic sucks regardless of your sex. It just... it just sucks.

I mean since it’s more frequent in men it’s normalized and since it’s uncommon in women it’s stigmatized. Not good, but that’s how it is sometimes.
