Totally. But I think this article actually helps with that. By educating parents, teachers, and doctors on the way that symptoms of autism manifest across children without assuming male as the "default" gender (and also educating them about our social biases which affect our interpretation of those symptoms), we're ensuring that more autistic people out there can find each other and support one another and themselves regardless of sex. Also, I'm certain that there are male autistics who manifest their symptoms in the more stereotypically "female" way (ie, quiet, shy, reserved, good at masking), and by educating people on the different ways that autism presents itself, we can help those people get proper diagnoses and support as well.
