autism in general is often characterized by an above-average interest in structures, systems and procedures accompanied by a lack of "social skills". Now that is also the standard attributes anthropologists and evolutionary psychologist put in the sphere of the male sex. Is there any big data on the distribution of autism between the sexes?

This thread hit a little too close to heart
Diagnosed Aspy here.
Can confirm I've met and confirmed about 10:1 ratio of male:female myself. The day I finally found a female on the same wavelength as me was one of the most bizarre experiences; it was like looking into a gender mirror.
Actual rate is apparently 5:1.

autism is literally a meme
they invented a mental illness to absolve parents of the guilt of being bad parents
>>138962162
you have obviously never met a person with severe autism. I agree that the indication of the illness is completey out of hands nowadays though

i have a sneaking suspicion a majority of females are autistic but you can't really call them out for that because a majority would consider themselves "social" and perhaps outgoing/extroverted.
this is not the case
Autism was a neanderthal trait which was more of a survival instinct. Whites tend to have a bit of said trait, but being majorty Cro-Magnon gave just the right amount of dosage. Having too much of said trait is more of an imbalance of sorts, and certain chemicals, frequencies, etc. may trigger said imbalance.
You could theoretically fix yourself if you're autistic.

Is there a definite definition on autism? Seems like such a grey area to me. And since we're on /pol/: have there been studies on the correlation between autism and race?

antisemitism cures autism

Agreed :'(

it's just about as definitive as any other definition of mental illness can be. that's the freakin problem obviously. it became broader and broader until the point where persons who are just not very skilled in their way of approaching others have become labelled as retards

thats more or less what i meant. i see lots of parents talk about their kid with autism and it turns out hes just an outcast and the helicopter mom is sad. she just exacerbates the problem. but yeah i've seen the videos of the full-blown REEEE autismos.
its pretty depressing seeing all these major mental disorders popping up in society that likely didnt exist a hundred years ago. all the chemicals and shit food we eat is going to end us.
Any other autists here?
I am a newly minted aspie wizard with no friends and a shit entry level job.
Its too late to fix my life or find love.

hard to judge historical mental illnesses by modern standards. plenty were just subsummized under "hysteria". so the conclusion that it wasn't known is partially right and wrong.
No other autists here.

But you didn't answer OP's last question.

An earlier anon answered it, only 20% of aspies are female.
