A lot of women with autism mask it and perform the examples you mentioned in your last paragraph.
It could also very well describe actors like Henry Cavill.
Also, in DSM-V there is only autism spectrum disorder. And people with ASD can be very imaginative, plus traits can be masked. And trained.
My wife did a social study. Because it fascinated her. Yet she masked a lot in her life. Both our parents (mothers) still refuse to accept themselves as such. And yet we sometimes put their nose in the pie.
