There’s a gender identity called “autigender.” I’ve seen a lot of people scoff at these ‘made up genders,’ but let me (an autistic person) explain why this identity is necessary.

So with autism there’s a wide array of characteristics, but the one that I’ve clung to is the concept that it is difficult to figure out social interactions. A lot of times I have to emulate social stuff so I won’t have people angry at me. It doesn’t feel natural or make logical sense to me. And since gender is a social construct, perhaps you can extrapolate that and put it onto how autism manifests. Not understanding social stuff, and taking that aspect in regards to gender is kind of what they mean when they say “autigender.” Because we have no sense of social stuff, that would mean that a social construct such as gender won’t necessarily feel natural to us. (not all of us, since autism expresses itself in various degrees)
