Autism has so many traits and manifestations that aren’t commonly discussed or talked about! Frequently, doctors ignore the atypical/”uncommon” traits dismissing and not writing or educating others about them. A lot of doctors have set definitions of autism that aren’t really representative of the autistic community as a whole. Atypical traits in actuality are more common and prevalent than stereotypical ones they just often go ignored therefore less people know about them.
Also, “professionals” often create lists saying atypical traits are gender specific and use functioning disgusting labels to invalidate traits as well as experiences. Autism traits are not different for “boys” or “girls.”. There is a lot of transphobia, misogyny, intersexism, racism, ableism as well as various other forms of oppression in the psychaitric field especially in regards to autism. The sources below do contain unnecessary functioning labels and gendering. Please ignore that and know autism traits aren’t gender specific and that there is no such thing as “severe” and “mild” autism. Autism is a spectrum and every single autistic person manifests autism differently.
Additionally, some traits aren’t just specific to autism but are also traits of various other neurodivergences as well as common among neurotypicals.
