Autistic Girls Are We Gender Stereotyping Autism?

Autistic girls, are we gender stereotyping autism? There's an issue around identifying, diagnosing and supporting autistic women and girls. But the answer to this issue appears to be labelling a particular presentation of autism as 'girl autism' with associated lists of girl autism symptoms being shared online.

I feel that this way of tackling the issue excludes anyone who doesn't identify as female but who's autism presents in this way. So I made this video as part of a collaboration with fellow autistic YouTuber Yo Samdy Sam to talk about my concerns.

A little bit about me:
Hi I'm Purple Ella and my family is an autism family with three out of five of us on the autistic spectrum. I also have ADHD and connective tissue disorder (hypermobile Ehlers-danlos syndrome). So life can be a challenge but also a lot of fun.
