If you look up symptoms of ASD specific to girls one of them is frequently “masculine behavior/dress” or whatever and people love to blame that on autism being an “extreme male brain” but it’s really very easily explained when you consider what femininity is: a set of implicit social rules forced on women. Like, of course autistic girls and women aren’t going to be as successful at performing femininity “correctly.” It doesn’t have to do with the fictitious male brain. It has to do with femininity being inaccessible to people who have difficulty navigating complex and arbitrary social conventions.

real talk

I’d rather be a useless Lesbian all my life than ever making another woman uncomfortable because I made it clear I wanted something she wasn’t willing to give

like. I never want to look in a woman’s eyes and see their fear and regret over my feelings for her? I love women too much to make them this uncomfortable. I don’t want her to feel bad for turning me down, or to feel threatened by my desire.
