A low-cost tool accurately distinguishes neurotypical children from children with autism just by watching them copy the dance moves of an on-screen avatar for a minute. It can even tell autism from ADHD, conditions that commonly overlap.

Please don't take offense but I'm curious why you thought this person was a woman.

That's actually an interesting point. I 100% also assumed this to be a woman despite them not making any explicit references. From describing themselves as "shy" (vs. something like "antisocial" or "reserved" or "serious"), to mentioning their children and parents, to discussing mental health topics openly with colleagues... Not that men can't or don't communicate like this, but I find it less common.

Actually quite fun to find someone else that kinda has this analysis of writing in this way. It's not always accurate but anecdotally in my experience there are wording tells, does depend on people's backgrounds too but the words that are picked, how content is framed. I still usually will go with gender neutral unless I've goofed but I can't help my brain forming a snap judgement.

I've never seen anyone ever mention doing this or noticing these patterns before.

People online usually assume I'm a woman too based on how I write/phrase things. In person no one would ever make that mistake
