I'm just restating what you've said, but if you take someone who doesn't fit into the neurotypical social fabric and introduce them to a community where they explain all your sense of being out of place in the world via gender identity and then love-bomb you for joining them, it's basically the perfect trap for autistic people. And, as you say, there's the whole system of gender ideology into which to pour all your obsessive impulses.

Exactly- though even though we both agree here, I will say it's kind of weird that religion is lowering further and further, and autistic people aren't going into religion even though it traditionally did the same thing [explain why your sense of being out of place is due to their God's belief, love-bomb you until you join them, give them a system to pour their obsessive impulses into].

Maybe it's how religions treated people both post love-bomb [most only love you until you're a member and then forget about you] and how they feel about autistic people [feeling they're dullards who aren't worth helping at best, like they're wicked and need to be purged at worst], but it's a curious addition to this connection.
