Does it matter? You made a claim that autistic woman just have keep their mouths shut and they’re fine. It’s not true, I am the counter example. I’m pretty sure some of it is because of my autism, some of it is because I’m a woman. I have define tell experienced harassment and physical violence for both. And I know a number of autistic women who have experienced both as well.
Either way, your statement about what autistic women go through, is false. Mauve wrote about your own experiences as an autistic man, rather than assume what other people go through. I do believe your point of view is being an autistic man who can be misunderstood and labeled as creepy and being a victim of violence and other things as a result is good perspective! Write about what that is like as a man! I’m not an autistic man, so I don’t know what’s it’s like. I’d love to hear about your experiences. But please, frame them as what you experiences rather than telling women what we do or don’t experience. Instead write about what you do experiences and then ask women what it’s like for them and compare and contrast. Assuming what someone else expedites and then complaining about that makes you sounds like an ignorant ass. Writing about what you do experiences and then asking others to compare, invites others to the conversation to reflect and see their privledged instead of mansplaining to them.
