If this were true we'd still need to explain why there's about 5:1 ratio of severely autistic men vs women.
Bringing in milder autism we can dilute that down to about 4:1 maybe 3:1.
But why? Why are we positing unproven theories to discount the data? That's not good science. Trying to explain data is.
Simon Baron-Cohen the works foremost autism specialist (a clinical psychologist and cousin to Ali G Sacha Baron-Cohen). Put forwards the "extreme male" brain theory (now called emoaphising-systemising theory to avoid gendered language) theory of autism and it's pretty compelling.
I'm not suggesting it necessarily accounts for the entire difference. You said you were interested. I shared what I know.
If you were not interested and just want to double down on you are right and anyone who has another view is wrong, then don't claim to be sincerely interested in the alternate view and then someone like me can skip bothering to share what they know with you as a pointless waste of time.
