The topic of autism in girls is highly searched for these days, and in 2019 I made a video called, "Autism Symptoms in Girls" , which has gone on to be the highest viewed video on this channel:    • Autism symptoms in GIRLS  

But after much reflection I wanted to revisit this idea of "gendered autistic traits" and move away from the idea of female autism and male autism altogether.

I chatted with Purple Ella about this topic and we decided to do a mini collab where we both discuss this topic. Check out her video here:

A clarification about Maria Montessori The Absorbent Mind (not her first book as I said in the video) does contain some quotes re: her eugenicist views, although her general educational philosophy does not promote this. I actually do really appreciate parts of the Montessori method, but I wanted to mention her views to make the point that it was not uncommon for people to hold them, even people who had otherwise decent thoughts about education.
