An autistic woman has challenged the stereotype that women don’t always fit the autism stereotype by being stereotypically autistic, sources have confirmed.
Beth Hapworth, 29, who was diagnosed in childhood, loves trains and has never so much as attempted to fake eye contact by looking between someone’s eyes, is said to have “baffled” experts.
Clinical psychologist, Dr. Graeme Hart, explained: “Beth was lucky to have been diagnosed with autism 20 years ago. She likely would have been missed today – she’s never even had blue hair.”
Hapworth commented: “I love maths,” before concentrating so hard on solving a mathematic equation so complex nobody could even verify it that she forgot to brush her teeth.
She added: “I’m exactly like your autistic nephew,” before going back to organising her Lego bricks by size and colour.
