"Why on earth is this a test for autism?"
I agree. There is a clear gender difference in seeing color [1][2][3][4]. The use of colors here would invalidate the test for autism, at least in the context of gender difference, since it would be testing for how well you see shapes versus colors.

The colours used in the image are distinct, and very few men would have enough trouble discerning them for this to have a substantial effect on the results.
