I find it harder to befriend other girls than I do with boys

I am a 15 year old girl and throughout my time in high school I’ve really struggled to make friends with other girls my age. I’ve comfortably made friends with other boys, because my special interests are a lot more popular with a lot of other boys (I.e anime, gaming, computer science and whatnot.) There’s a lot of pressure at my school to be like every other girl and have no personality of your own. I sometimes mask when im in school, but when im not masking and being myself, when im with my non alt female friends, I tend to get judged and looked down upon by them. When im not masking around the boys i can have comfortable conversations with, its a whole other story. I can feel myself be happier, even with our normal conversations about history, or politics or generic stuff like that. I really want more female friends I really do, but its harder to be someone they would be friends with when youre autistic. Especially when you don’t dumb yourself down for male attention. I know it might sound “pick me-ish” but I really do hate when girls refuse to improve knowledge on anything just to seem cutesy and ditzy. I think it ruins the image of women overall.
