Why do you think there is such a thing as a ‘real boy’? It is likely that most other people you know are envious of you for something else - maybe your ability to paint, or your voice - and are thinking ‘if only I could draw / sing like Helixdab2. But I’ll never have real talent.’ Yes, some people get dealt a better hand than others, but that doesn’t make them an ideal to aspire to.
I’m sort of convinced that ASD is a view of the future where humans finally shrug off the bonds of being descended from apes. So much of the nastiness that humans are capable of come from the sort of behavior that allowed our ancestors to survive. We no longer live there and no longer need to think in that way.
Unrelated to your comment, but you should probably do some research on the gender essentialism front. We’ve known gender and sex are different for a long time, and should treat trans people as their gender, not their biological sex.

I agree with the first part, but that’s a case by case basis, just like NT’s. Those traits are not mutually exclusive with autism.
