Autism Is Not Hypermasculinity

Autism is not hypermasculinity | Asperger's & Autism Community - Wrong Planet

I've read that some people describe autism as extreme masculinity, and there are indeed some traits associated with both, but I find this viewpoint to be offensive and inaccurate for the following reasons:

Autistic traits that are not "masculine"
1. Narrow interests
2. Sensitivity to touch/other sensory issues (indeed, this is sometimes seen as unmanly)
3. Difficulty controlling emotional reactions

"Masculine" traits that are not autistic
1. Interest in physical activity - while this is not inconsistent with being autistic, if autism was hypermasculine you would see this more.
2. Violence
3. Assertiveness and self-confidence (not all autistic people are high in it)

Reasons why this is offensive:
1. It reduces autism to what NT's call "poor social skills", which is ableist. There is much more to what we are than the inability to read emotions.
2. It erases female and non-binary autistics/Aspies, and is insulting to Aspies like me who are on the male side of the gender spectrum yet are still slightly androgynous.
3. It is born out of the reactionary myth that there is a "war on boys." I have seen people say things as ridiculous as that autism does not exist but it's merely a way of pathologizing masculinity. I don't need to explain why that's wrong.

I do acknowledge that most feminists are NT's and as such may say and do ableist things against us because of their own neuronormative perspective. But that does not make autism equivalent to hypermasculinity.

these kind of people are on the bottom of the spectrum and will largely die alone.

One thing I’ve noticed with asperger/autism, is that people who identify or use the word autism instead of aspergers, tend to be more lgbtq fag loving leftists than those who use aspergers. Those who use aspergers tend to view their diagnosis more negatively than those who use autism. Also, those who use autism also have more self-diagnosers

Legit bro but unfortunately not as many people know what Asperger's is

Autism is the hypermasculinity of the brain, which doesn’t automatically means physical masculinity too

People with masculine brain will have these traits:
1. Interest in physical activity - while this is not inconsistent with being autistic, if autism was hypermasculine you would see this more.
2. Violence
3. Assertiveness and self-confidence

Which many autists don't.

Very dumb arguments by whoever wrote them, they aren’t connected to ASD or neurotypicality but hormone levels

Violent men’s trademark is high androgen hormone levels (T + DHT) combined with high estrogen, which makes them emotionally volatile and lowers their impulse control, both of which are feminime traits. The most violent men in society are usually tren abusers with elevated estrogen levels

So you want to say that agressive high testosterone tren abusers are actually feminine?
And that shutin aspie stemcels are masculine?
Sure bro.

Yes, roidheads are quite feminime MENTALLY. They very easily lose their mind over small things because their elevated estrogen levels make them emotional like a female. Estrogen makes you more emotional, essentially more feminime mentailty wise

Autistic stemcels might not be physically more masculine than them, but for sure they tend to have more masculine brains (systematizing, logical, stoic etc.)

How do you stop your brain from being logical?
