Early autism studies focused almost exclusively on males because male symptoms are more obvious and clear.

One of the issues is in the early days of autism studies, almost everybody they studied were dudes. They were all males. That's how most scientific studies work now. But especially in the case of autism. And one of the reasons for that is because the way males express autism is incredibly obvious. The signs and symptoms are much more clear.
