   my favorite dumb take on autism is still:
   
   > The extreme male brain (EMB) theory states that autistic people have an extreme male brain type

     @kaia what’s dumb about it? Seems intuitive and explanatory.

     @lain it's based on the idea that 'autistic people have diminished empathizing and increased systemizing abilities' which I don't believe, because I know autistic people who are deeply empathic in their own way.

     @kaia I don’t know about this kind of overview, I just know about IT type people, and they were all the specific kind of annoying that men are, no matter what sex they had. Maybe it’s different things altogether.

     @kaia ah yes, the library girl describing 15th century bohemian cities in extensive detail to strangers at a bus stop is not autistic theory

     I believe they are! It's not ungrounded, but IT people ≠ autistic people 😂
     Among the former there are lots of those who are self-diagnosed to be the latter and at the same time, probably due to higher salaries — there are lots of those who cosplay they do not belong to the latter. It's really skewed 🤪
