There are far fewer women with autism spectrum wiring, 4:1 male to female for a start. I won't say disorder as in an IT technical role a bit of peculiar obsessive focus, the edge of autism spectrum anyway is extremely useful.
The three female devs I can think of who were as good as a good male dev were sci-fi and comic collector geeks. I often think about a few of the others and it seemed that yes, they had good brains but in corporations the girls readily get offered managerial/people skills roles which are obviously better career opportunities.
