My Autism diagnosis finally got me to see my privilege. If I were female I am much less likely to be diagnosed, same if I were not white.

So... You're autistic living in a society that is designed based entirely on the expectation that you
won't be autistic in order to navigate it without significant difficulty on a daily basis - the kind of difficulty that people who don't share your life experiences can't possibly understand - and the conclusion you've reached is that being white and male has advantaged you?
I don't deny the existence of white or male privilege by the way, but your statement here is super interesting.
