There's more to it than that, the woke really dislike autistic people, almost as much as they dislike old people. Why? - probably just because they're far more likely to reject woke nonsense and think in terms of facts and logic rather than falling for appeals to emotion.

I dunno. I’ve worked with lots of autistic people and to say “they think in terms of fact and logic” is really only true for the high functioning.

There’s also plenty of evidence that the trans community is full of autistic people, and no one would accuse them of being heavily facts and logic-based.

There's also the obsessive element of high-functioning autism, and this can go either way I guess, into obsessing over gender identity, appearance, and porn/sex, or into a TERFy obsession, spending endless hours reading/listening and generally learning about the subject, trying to understand WTF is going on and how it can be resisted.

The only real common factor we can say about autism is that they struggle to read other people's social cues and lack whatever that sense is that normal people have. But autism itself is pretty poorly defined and we don't really know what it is beyond a smattering of similar behaviors hunting towards an underlying mental condition.

Facts and logic don't really have that much to do with it. Highly intelligent educated autistics don't understand the "social appropriateness" of when and where to avoid facts and logic which lead to some really hilarious but sad takedowns of people since it usually makes the autist look like they are heartless when they think the opposite in their own mind.

But I've met some really retarded autists as well. Same lack of social awareness but just generally stupid on top of it. I don't think there is any correlation with intelligence. If anything the only relation is that the lack of social awareness and perceived intelligence is probably the scholastically inclined autistic is probably more interested in doing nerdy shit like studying than hanging with the frat boys and getting frustrated by their inability to really connect like everyone else.

But on the opposite side, that also explains a reason why the woke don't like autistic people: an autistic person who doesn't troon out is therefore a safe person to declare evil and destroy for them to look good.

The autistic snarts, on the other hand, will be lovebombed to stay there until they get enough clout to turn on them because they're not cool enough to sit at their lunch table, and not being cool makes the woke people sad- and anything that makes them sad is oppressing them.
