The reason I'm linking this is for the first two, they are traits that are perceived both as being masculine and as somewhat autistic, but the research shows they aren't masculine traits at all. This is just another example of many of how perceptions of masculinity influence the perceptions of autism, while the perceptions aren't based on real data.
