Seems like a silly question. “Programmer” doesn’t describe an identity or type of person. It describes an activity or profession. People can show different interests and aptitude without observable differences in brain structure. Anecdotally it seems male programmers sit somewhere on the autism spectrum away from the median, and men make up the large majority of programmers. I don’t know of any research on brain structure but Gerald Weinberg’s book The Psychology Of Computer Programming has some insights.
