What are Female Autists common interests?

[b0x]

Do they have any stereotypical interests like male autists?

The author also struggled with bulimia in the book.
I should re-read it sometime.

Going by my ASD formally-female Australian support groups, #1 is American social justice, and #2 is their brave, shiny unique transgender identity. At any point they'll sperg at length upon both. I don't think they even remember anymore what country they're in, and haven't for many years. They're all proudly 'queer' but have never and will never touch another female intimately in their life. The entire community is poisoned. Basically, assume a female autist under the age of 30 is living, breathing Tumblr personified, and chances are you'll be right.

Horses. It's always been horses.

Autistic women are the ones who consume anything with mermaids and unicorns. Also things crossed with the aforementioned fantasy creatures, such as the Unikitty character from Lego Movie or whatever nonsense with a single horn in it's head.

Um, traditionally, I would say any and all "fiber arts". From crocheting to weaving, quilting, or even collage-crafted greeting cards. Through history, female autists have been taught to entertain and create - with little more than uniquely knotted string.

History/Geneaology (including royal family lineages), books, fandoms (or according to the book Fandom Families), anime, animals, languages/foreign accents, the arts, eating disorders such as binge eating/anorexia/bulimia, skin picking, social psychology, Disney, Mythologies/Folkore, cosplay, historical fiction, time travel
Collections of whatever and lining them up

• Girls on the spectrum may feel more intensely connected to fictional or historical characters than to real people
• Biographies (books, documentaries, films) are a favorite way to study people and from their relationships develop a larger personal emotional vocabulary and learn "how to be"

Sauce: Autism in Heels by Jennifer Cook O'Toole

Dated a girl once who was on the spectrum. This is frighteningly accurate.

Crystals for some reason, every autistic woman I met had a crystal collection.

This is a good point, but women becoming associated with sewing and knitting is a post-industrial revolution trope. Prior to the industrial revolution, men would primarily sew as women assist by creating the materials required (like thread) or selling the final product in the shop.

I would say autistic women excessively love stationary and scrapbooking. Stickers, planners, and organizing to such an extent that they even label translucent containers of obviously identifiable food items. This makes haul videos on Youtube very attractive to them.

women becoming associated with sewing and knitting is a post-industrial revolution trope.

In my locale, it is considered a pre-historic return-to-indigenous-culture trope, as the University cannot hold enough "traditional basket weaving" classes for all the students who want to learn how to make blankets or baskets like all females in their lineage have done - skipping one generation or two.

Spoiler: tribal weaving PL

In the local tribes culture, whenever a man chose weaving - it was also very clear that these were often "two-spirited" men, as Progressive culture likes to label faggots.

God no, I'm too traumatized and drunk to interact with people anymore. But it's fun to talk about.

Horses. It's always been horses.

Humanity has been on the decline since we allowed women to ride in a style other than side-saddle and for a purpose other than transportation. While there is an extremely high : ratio, I would liken it more to the correlation seen with furries and spergs. Imagine accepting the dogpill but it has a five-figure price tag and four-figure costs. Horse women are one of the few beings to genuinely terrify me. Some are, I assume, decent enough people. I've met tons and never come across them.

 

[Retink]

Yeah I see adults walking around with Lego bags, Twitch thots constantly trying to reference videogames, even though inside they probably hate it.

They spend all their time trying to look attractive and then they realize they'll never quite capture the hearts of the people without being truly autistic.

 

[BibiLivesMatter]

I feel like being part of a community such as fanfic or OCs media for fictional character is a big hobby for female autists. They're more proactive in a fandom with making things relating to it as well.

Riding horses requires physical and mental fortitude because horses are animals who can see bitch-borns from far away. As a result, women who professionally raise horses are based, True and Honest trad wives.

Those who just oogle horses from afar and plaster horse imagery on various items are autistic.

Raising horses is generally a liability, not an asset. If you eliminate the people that are little more than shit-shovellers with a barn and some land you're probably talking about a few thousand professional equestrians on the planet. That's probably where you're most likely to find a "normal" horse-person if you're going to find them at all. The vast, vast majority are breaking even at best to support their own hobby or they know they are throwing their husband/father's money away. They are the grown up girls who had Lisa Frank trapper keepers with the neon horses and shit. If we're being frank here you and I both know labeling them "wives" is unreasonably optimistic.

They're as flighty and stress-prone as sheep. Dumber than some of the more clever swine I've handled. They are dangerous like cattle while marginally more intelligent. I know plenty of folks with a room temperature IQ that can win that mental chess match every single time. If you're weak or overly emotional I can see where you might think they require exceptional physicality. For men working on farms it's no trouble at all usually. The closest thing you've had to a good take is identifying them as reactionary animals. If we could find a way to replicate the unrequited love horse-girls have for their stupid animals we could virtually eliminate SIDs and infanticide.

So what flavor Sped-equestrian are you? Bong, cowboy, or semen specialist?

You could have just said you've never been on a farm instead of this long autistic post.

Nice rebuttal, really showed me where what any of what I said was wrong. I actually spend my time on productive/useful farms.
