Hang on half a second here. No more than 1% of Americans are autistic. (CDC estimates 1 in 110.) Autism is four times as common among males as females. This whole “NT” vs “non-NT” thing you’re talking about is distinguishing 99.75% of women from 0.25%. I think this may be misguided. There are way more women who don’t ask to be bought drinks than that.
I didn’t say that (most NT women) (ask men for drinks), I said (most women who ask men for drinks) are NT.
Given your statistics, this would be expected even if half of all women asked men for drinks, because then you’d have half of 99.75% of women being NT+drink.asking and half of .25% being non-NT+drink.asking.
That being said, I do not assume that non-NT-ness requires actual autism or even diagnosable Asperger’s. High intelligence alone (IMO) qualifies one for being neurally “atypical” in my book.

Ah, I misunderstood (I’ve only ever heard “NT” to refer to “not autistic.”)
You’re quite right, technically; I perceived an implication the other way as well but you may not have meant that.
