AFAIK, the causes of autism are not well understood. If that's the case, why would she assume a dearth of diagnoses for one group is indicative of bias?

There are some plausible arguments--eg high-status difficult kids get called autistic, low-status difficult kids go in the prison pipeline--but this article ignores them and goes straight for failed-sophomore-English, got-Masters's-in-Women's-Studies gibberish.

There's an argument that women are underdiagnosed because their symptoms present differently, which is plausible -- but doesn't seem true of the women with autism I know personally.
