@Qwyrdo Yeah I kinda wonder how my life would have been different had I managed to be diagnosed as a child. I think maybe I just went to the world's most incompetent schooling system.
I mean I was doing something related to autism and gender for a school project and I think none (or maybe 1) of the samples had equal proportions of boys:girls. I'd have to look again. Kinda makes me feel like asking for self-representing samples might work better.

@Qwyrdo can relate.

In fact this was more eye opening than anything I read in perhaps my entire life.
