He was on the spectrum 100%.

He's intelligent and doing work in a highly specialised field of academia but has the inability to hide his non-elite views, red flag 1. He naively doesn't understand you shouldn't post personal information on the internet especially if you have low status/dissident views, red flag 2. Once he got doxxed he immediately killed himself, this is an obvious overreaction to neurotypicals but not for neurodivergent people with anxiety disorders (massive overlap with ASD), people who are avoidant and such will often do drastic things when they're afraid and don't know what to do.

Just from a couple points it's very easy to tell this guy was autistic.

Was there anything suspicious about his death, I mean he did just get doxxed?

He was not just based in Chicago, but also in one of the most liberal areas in the country

He stated on his Twitter that he had to keep his views secret in real life, and the fact that he had a Twitter at all suggests that he was looking for contact with sane people he just couldn't find IRL.

So he probably felt very isolated and might not have had even one non-woke friend or family member to turn to when everything went down.

a lot of assumptions

I think it's just one assumption: that he felt alone. To be fair I can't prove it, but it explains things.

Maybe antifa got him. I wouldn't even be against that theory, I just don't see any more proof for it. If he was standing firm, why close his accounts?

Fair point but not enough proof either way.

Dunno, doubt it though. Usually nothing comes out of being doxxed unless you're super high profile (even then it's just like spam phone calls and stuff like that, pretty much never anything serious). This is just a random guy, he could have possibly lost his job but that's the worst that would have happened. Very much doubt some random antifa killed him or something.
