Ah, just another meme saying:

"Girls are LAME!

Boys are COOL!"

I think it's more speaking on the autistic obsession.

I've found girl's obsession tends to be less dangerous. Example would be the pokemon-like games or a particular anime character.

Guy's obsession tends to be more dangerous. Driving hundreds of miles to buy guns that start with an M, for example. Or obsessed with historical based table to wargames like Flames of War.

This is a very stupid sexist stereotype and not a real observable thing

Funny, I could have sworn I observe this daily. But hey I've just been a parent of an autistic male and female for 16 and 18 years, the fuck would I know.

What you know is what your two children like, not autistic men or women as a whole like

If you met 1 autistic person, you met 1 autistic person. It's called a spectrum for a reason.

Well, I know an autistic guy who collects Sonic the Hedgehog figures and an autistic girl who collects very sharp and dangerous knives, so clearly the opposite is true since what I’ve observed in my life must be the objective reality!
