I think the mirror opposite effect is very efficiently seen in womens preferences also: women prefer psychopathic violent men, whereas they hate men with autistic traits.
Basically: autists have high glutamate signaling, whereas men with psychopathic traits have significantly less glutamate signaling.
Impaired striatal glutamate/GABA regulation in violent offenders with antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy - Molecular Psychiatry
Men with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) with or without psychopathy (+/−P) are responsible for most violent crime in society. Development of effective treatments is hindered by poor understanding of the neurochemical underpinnings of the condition. Men with ASPD with and without...

Impaired striatal glutamate/GABA regulation in violent offenders with antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy
Not gonna copy + paste the whole study but this was the finding:Another study about the subject:Men with ASPD +/− P had a significant reduction in striatal glutamate : GABA ratio compared to non-offenders.
Glutamate/GABA+ ratio is associated with the psychosocial domain of autistic and schizotypal traits
Results:It was hypothesised that increased glutamate/GABA ratio in a right superior temporal voxel would be associated with higher scores on the AQ subscales Social Skills, Communication and Attention Switching, and SPQ subscales No Close Friends, Constricted Affect, Social Anxiety, Odd Behaviour and Odd Speech.
There were significant, moderate, positive relationships between right superior temporal glutamate/GABA+ ratio and AQ, SPQ and AQ+SPQ total scores (p<0.05), SPQ subscales Social Anxiety, No Close Friend, Constricted Affect, Odd Behaviour, Odd Speech, Ideas of Reference and Suspiciousness, and AQ subscales Social Skills, Communication and Attention Switching (p<0.05); increased glutamate/GABA+ coinciding with higher scores on these subscales.
Basically: autists have high glutamate signaling, whereas men with psychopathic traits have significantly less glutamate signaling.
