Is Autism 'a man's world'?

Please know that I'm not writing this to be deliberately inflammatory or provocative, or to have a go at anyone here, but I just feel so isolated as an Autistic woman. Most other Autistic people I've engaged with are men, and seem to have quite a different presentation and outlook on life to me. They are often very blunt, whereas I'm not. When I get emotional, they don't seem to understand - I've been accused of 'emotionally exploding', for example, simply for expressing that I felt uncomfortable with a conversation. It's more than that, though, to be honest I'm finding it quite hard to explain in logical terms...I just don't feel I fit in in the Autism world or the neurotypical world, and I'm wondering if this is because I'm female. Does anyone else feel this way?

  • the early medieval age was the issue with that i think as its early medieval that had a male heirs only rule. late medieval allowed for female rulers.

    but before any of that, before rome came female rulers were pretty much the norm. brigantia had famous female rulers, then ofcourse the icenis boudicca.... perhaps rome was the problem? rome perhaps pushed more of a male rule which then lasted after rome to the early medieval era and only got ironed out late medieval era.
