I don't think anyone wants to discount the massive disparities experienced by women and girls.
I don't think anyone wants to discount the massive disparities experienced by women and girls. What I do believe is that in order to counter these pervasive issues, we need to properly understand the origins of it -- exclusion -- so we can build solidarity with all other excluded and marginalized Autistics, and take on the paradigm that harms all of us. Treating "female Autism" as a distinct form of the disability is counter to that progress, because it justifies the exclusion or explains it away as something located within the Autistic person themselves, rather than being a structural issue caused by psychiatry and psychology.
