People with autism (and the associated rigid thinking) have low emotional intelligence, and I think this leads to them being more inclined to believe in conspiracy theories like Flat Earth, 5G-covid and moon landings
They are unusually capable at pattern matching, so that makes them good at connecting the dots in an idea, but not so good at the critical thinking aspect, so they keep making obviously false conclusions but don't understand why everyone else keeps telling them they are wrong
This is a serious issue for the Right because 90% of the batshit tinfoil is coming from our people, and their self absorption is wasting a lot of energy and time. This is making the rest of us look like morons, which fucks up our message to normies
