  • Hello, I apologize for not realizing about the problems around the use of the term ‘female’, thanks for explaining.

    Yesterday, I just learnt about Feminine autism after a neuropsychologist mentioned it to me. He said ‘feminine’, because of the gender-cultured reasons contributing to underdiagnosis in women and LGBTIQ individuals too.

    That’s the reason I am doing my best to understand by reading in communities as r/AutismInWomen, and noticing the need for safe spaces due to issues with the male autistic community.

    Still, I just would like to note that some individuals new to minority-based communities may be new to the language on itself and have this double struggle with social interactions leading to “double exclusion” in certain situations, e.g. in the LGBTIQ+ community.

    I promise my intentions are not bad, but I can struggle for hours to communicate a simple idea effectively and still do an epic fail. Sorry.
