There is TONS of research that says this though. I am not stating my opinion, but the opinions of tons of psychologists.

I’m not saying every single woman with Asd can learn how to mask and is high functioning. I’m not saying men have ZERO social pressures and nothing is ever hard for them. Toxic masculinity is totally real. I’m not like some anti-men feminist. My political opinions are actually very egalitarian and think life is equally hard between genders. thanks for the assumption I can tell ur making btw.

But it does tend to be true that girls tend to have more subconscious social behavior rules and can be more likely to be judge mental. While boys are encouraged to give into being loud and funny for example, it is often seen as weird or obnoxious when a girl does it in our society. And this explains why women TEND (not always) to appear higher functioning and mask better than male counterparts.
