Usually the same way:
>A lack of social capability in terms of non-verbal cues which leads into the next point;
>Personality quirks and hyperfixations that can dominate a person's entire thought process and make it all they can talk about despite the what would be, to a non-autist) clear signs that a person is not interested
>Both independent in their social needs and dependent on others for things they themselves have a difficult time with
>Intense focus on hyperfixations to the detriment of relationships, personal health/hygiene and without regard to potential social stigma related to said fixations.
Oftentimes I would argue that what could be considered endearing or quirky when done by a woman could be considered maladaptive personality traits when done by men. I think the distinction only lies in the way certain activities are coded. For example, it may be considered quirky or cute if a woman is obsessed with a video game and seems to fixate on it whereas this might be considered nothing more than basic loser shit when done by a man. Where a woman may be adept at something like makeup artistry stemming from a hyperfixation, that could be considered both conceited and cringe. However, if a gay man were to have the same capabilities, it would be received differently.
I don't think autism manifests differently based on gender and, if it is, it's due to social influence more than anything.
