I haven't read much more than the first few pages of either, but there's a couple of autism papers I've seen threads about in twitter in the past couple of days (the second by its author), that really caught my eye as interesting.
Autism, Girls & Keeping it All Inside
TLDR: The way autistic people raised as girls don't outwardly present the classical behavioural markers of autism contributes to under-diagnosis of autism in people raised as girls.
“Autism research is in crisis”: A mixed method study of researcher’s constructions of autistic people and autism research
TLDR: This looks like an epic piece of research into how autism researchers view autistic people. To quote the first author's thread: "To put it politely - the data was a shit show. ... 60% of responses contained dehumanizing, objectifying and stigmatizing attitudes towards autistic people - often portraying autistic people as lacking in complex emotions, agency, uniquely human-traits, community, identity, culture, or warmth. It was stomach churning to read" and "snapshot of results: while controlling for career length, and other contact with autistic people (familial & non-familial), medicalized approachs to autism predicts a significantly higher odds of ableism, while involving autistic people more in research predicts lower odds"
