Many women do go undiagnosed. There's been many articles talking about how females present the traits of aspergers differently from men.
As (my kind) who want to be equal in the ratio of guys....your assumption is mostly YOUR assumption.
And I'll have you know it took years before I was ever diagnosed with aspergers.
Try to defeat the point 1.
There are a lot of guys here that took them years to be diagnosed (in fact,most users are diagnosed as adults on this forum) or realize to have something like it, including me.
Your profile claims that you are female, so do excuse us if we find your Argument from Anecdote not very convincing.

And so what?
You sexist white knight ....
no-consensus means nothing btw, and there are also excellent statements have been made by both genders that agree with my theory.The Wikipedia part is based on medical references btw.

Well, if you're going to argue from anecdote (which is bad as it is already), one could at least expect you to be truthful.

I'm not diagnosed but I have a hunch I have it as I find social relationships most peculiar and I don't enjoy most of the stuff that humans do. When I stared nosing around this site a couple of years ago I realized there were others with the same problems. But it took me over 80 years to find out. For a long time I suspected I might be a robot or an alien.

In my encounters here I have come across 14 year olds who are good and well informed conversationalists and people over 60 who are not worth a reply. Age seems not a factor.

Age is just a tally of years...what matters is what you've done during those years and how you've interpreted what you've come across.

People are going to suffer whether they have Aspergers or not. Genetics doesn't play a role in that. If autism was truly a painful disease that required morphine on a regular basis, then we'd be talking a different story. A childless person isn't the only one to consider genetics. They test for all types of genetics upon request when pregnant, and many women do that irregardless of how many children they have.
Also, many sources say autism is more prevalant in males. That doesn't make it true, but it doesn't make it false either. There's many theories suggesting that is that way because of the research methods, but it's possible the research results are still accurate despite those theories. But to say women have a desire to be equal to men including how many people have autism is sort of far fetched. There are holes in the research methods and just because someone truly thinks they do affect the results (which they very well could) doesn't make them wish to be equal to men.
I have a magnet somewhere in this house that I love, and it says, "Women who want to be equal to men have no ambition." In fact, I think sexism is more of a territorial issue than which gender is better because we all know which gender is better...
Seriously it is more territorial than envy. Men will trust women to raise their kids and cook their meals, but not to kill in war or increase sales. As far as women, we don't envy men or wish to be equal. It's more about how housework sucks and we'd rather do something else with our time sometimes. Women have always known we are equal to men, so it's not about trying to be equal to men, it's about getting equal rights. Men are the ones still trying to accept that we've moved into their territories. Someday they will realize that this whole time, they are trying to be equal to women. Either way, I just don't see how a woman's motivation to claiming that autism doesn't discriminate against gender is based on a desire to be equal to a creature she is already aware that she is equal to.
