may be able to mimic social standards better than some autistic men — they often describe taking on personas or mimicking other people to fit in. A woman with autism may show a larger range of emotion in her face and voice. She might be able to adopt social standards fairly well but find it exhausting and stressful. The drama of female peer relationships can feel really overwhelming and not enjoyable — she might even gravitate toward male friendships for this reason.
Intense, fixed interests are a main symptom of autism. Women may fixate on more socially relevant hobbies: they might jump into church work or environmental causes. Their autism may be missed because of the mainstream nature of these interests, but the people who know them best are often quick to point out how obsessive their interest actually is.
