unfortunately true since we’re much more susceptible to propaganda & indoctrination as a population

Tf are you talking about it’s the opposite. We have issues with authority like hello? Autistics are usually left leaning

oh idk if #5 is right or wrong, but it’s true that we tend to be more susceptible to indoctrination because of moral inflexibility. when we trust people, we REALLY trust them, and their thinking becomes ours. we have to work a lot harder when addressing problematic viewpoints because of it.

Yeah :( It’s how a number of us end up in cults or other manipulative groups that take advantage of us

my ex was a severe racist/transphobe for like 8 years, by the time I met her she was super-woke (and also transitioned lol) but told me about how she was in middle school because of the people she trusted :/ it’s so scary how vulnerable we can be as a population

That’s actually proven to be the opposite due to pattern recognition and the tendency to not follow trends

Why did you have to say (actual ones)

Because there’s a phenomenon of people claiming to be autistic when they’re not.

do you have a study on this? because moral inflexibility is very well-known as a symptom, just ask a therapist who’s informed on it

People with autism have high levels of aversive behavior. Aversive behavior has been studied and proven to be right wing. So it’s an extrapolation.

after looking into it a bit more, pattern recognition actively worsens cognitive biases & confirmation bias. it’s part of why we’re so susceptible. it’s not a “superpower,” it’s part of our disability.

if you’re talking about self-diagnosis, then you’re ignoring all the pressures to NOT get diagnosed, as well as the lack of reason to get one. it’s dangerous to have a mental disorder diagnosis given the state of the country, and there’s active medical discrimination against people with diagnosed autism.

foreign-born autistic applicants for citizenship in New Zealand and Australia commonly get rejected, and that’s one of the more blatant ones. medical & systemic discrimination against autistic people is a serious issue. we’re also in the “women with autism” group, and it’s well-known thar we’re underdiagnosed, and many people will be adults by the time they find out.

my doctor told me I have autism, but I asked her not to give me a formal diagnosis. she AGREED with me btw. my therapist did, too. they both are very aware of the discrimination we face simply by having an official diagnosis.
