[AUTISM][THEDAILYWTF.COM] Male Services

As one of the few females in the software development field, I’ve grown accustomed to a certain “awkwardness” with my male peers. Actually, maybe “creepiness” is a better word. Several people – many of whom were guys I’ve shared all but a few words worth – have told me that, not only is it “hot” that I’m a female programmer, but that my Eastern European accent “really adds some points.” While I’ve mostly heard that at conferences and networking events, the sentiment is definitely there in the day-to-day. It’s certainly flattering, but it can get annoying when I’m just trying to do my job.

Why don't female programmers have autism too?

They actually do. It's just not noticable. Here's quote from BeeBeeCee news site that discusses

Professor Gillberg said that, at an earlier age girls with autism were likely to be more passive and not as active or aggressive as boys with autism are - and may be seen as simply shy.


TL;DR female autism is under-diagnosed.
TL;DR2: wymen can't even even autism properly
