The reason so few women are diagnosed as being autistic is because their symptoms are not outwardly shown, they simply claim to have social issues while still having many friends and relationships. It's known women with autism can better read non-verbal communication and mimic their female NT counterparts, being unable to do so is one of the known symptoms of having autism. Most women with autism aren't identified as being autistic because their symptoms aren't noticeable during childhood, there are no known genetic tests to determine autism, similar to Down Syndrome for example, so behavioral signs are the only way it's identified. Yet, a disproportionate amount of government disability benefits goes to women who are autistic, despite autistic men outnumbering autistic women 4:1.
Women by their nature are manipulative and deceptive thus a part of the NT-Psychopath spectrum, most women who claim autism are simply scamming the system and psychologists so they gain an autism diagnosis and government benefits, this also makes them feel special. Any manipulative woman can easily trick a psychologist into believing they have a certain condition.
TLDR: Most women who claim to be autistic are scamming the system and actual autistic women, if they exist, are way rarer than claimed.
