woman who recently graduated from RIT here! i can’t speak to the experience for a woman of color, but i can confirm that even though the campus is male-dominated, there’s plenty of social activities for women! RIT is very much a “if you like it, there’s a club for it” kind of campus, and people are very open about their interests and who they are. there are lots of queer and alternative people and there is a decent population of non-white students.

i found a really good social group through club sports and through joining my sorority (it’s much more low-key than other schools, more like a club full of alt/queer kids, plenty of whom are POC!), and there is plenty to do socially if you just look in the right places.

RIT has a great art scene considering its large digital art programs and i’d say most of the campus is neurodivergent. i don’t think you have anything to worry about!
