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.
