Feminist theory doesn't relate to Autism. Feminist theory is philosophical thought out of the feminism movement, discussing issues of gender and social inequality. Feminism does seek to end ableism which can impact on Autistic people.
Gender refers to characteristics assigned to masculinity or femininity. Feminism is the movement to bring about gender equality.

Radical feminism actually seeks to destroy gender inequality by dismantling oppressive institutions.
Liberal Feminism and Radical Feminism are some types pf the feminist theory.
Answer: "Feminism is an interdisciplinary approach to issues of equality and equity based on gender, gender expression, gender identity, sex, and sexuality as understood through social theories and political activism. Feminists believe that women should be treated equal on all levels as that of a man". I believe that the source from Eastern Kentucky University Women & Gender Studies is a great source to look into because it also discusses the evolution of feminism. The Feminist Theory now deals with the inequalities of male versus female in relation to class, gender, race, sexuality, etc. - Tari Librarian-to-be Source: wgs.eku.edu/what-feminism-0 & A book by the name of 'Am I That Name? : Feminism and the category pf Women in History by D.

Yes, society still needs feminism because feminism is a movement that seeks to bring gender equality and society hasn't achieved this yet. Feminism seeks to deal with issues of gender inequality and other forms of oppression such as racism, until everyone is equal within society feminism will exist.
Some schools offer "Gender Studies" where you can learn about the roles of people in society, and this will definitely study feminism.
The basic principle of feminism is equality. Feminism is needed because its premise is that people should not be discriminated against because of gender. It follows the basic law of discrimination not being based on gender, religion, race, sexual orientation or belief.
post-structuralism
Liberal Feminism holds that the oppression of women is the denial of their equal rights, representation, and access to opportunities. Liberal Feminism takes a gender-neutral/gender-blind appraoch and holds that all men and women are created equal and should be treated the same, and seeks to reform oppressive systems. Liberal Feminism focuses strongly on fixing women's exclusion from political power. Radical Feminism, is, as its name implies, more radical than Liberal feminism. Radical Feminism carries the belief that "the personal is political" and sees that the oppression of women is caused by patriarchy, a system of male authority, strongly manifested in sexuality, personal relationships, and the family, and then carried over into the rest of the man-dominated world. As opposed to Liberal Feminism, Radical Feminism does not take a gender-blind/gender-neutral approach; Radical Feminism acknowledges that there are differences between men and women, and society should change to value those differences instead of devaluing the "feminine."
