I hate to say this but my autism has allowed me to push past many women issues because of my intense urge for justice and when I am actually proving a point I can be very articulate. Although motivated purely by spite it gets me to be verbal. Im normally non verbal so when I talk idk wtf im saying
I would be more confident in my abilities and not think I am slightly less able or need to be “handled with extreme care”. Especially in sports where there’s not many women (ex football). Coaches tend to mix females with males but are like “I will make life horrible if you guys even shoulder bump the girls accidentally”. it makes guys paranoid and not even want to interact (in a team bonding or neutral way).
