Ye sand no: Men with asperger's tend to be more obvious than women with asperger's. Part of the reason for this is that women tend to be better socially than men in general. If a male has the dna for asperger's, and he has fewer social skills to give up, then he will appear more socially challenged than a comparable woman who has more social skills to give up. I hope this makes sense.
