You can't just encapsulate everyone with a mental disability with the word "autistic". What's the sampling size of that study? Was there a control? Has this study been peer reviewed?
which could explain
You're right, it could, but there is no substantial evidence to support the claim that degenerate thoughts stem from autism. Most people that are "diagnosed" with autism are diagnosed as a child. Of course they will have mental disabilities growing up being told that they have mental disabilities. That's nurture over nature for ya.
It's more than one study.

I do agree though that it's partially or perhaps even to a large extend nurture.
An autistic boy will be more "shy". And perhaps come of as more feminine. Which makes him an easy prey for people who tell him all his problems stem from him not being a man. That he doesn't fit in and struggles socially because he's really a girl.
But I still believe that autists difficulty in following social norms makes them much more likely to openly live out any sexual deviancy they have.
social norms
Done with this conversation.
Why?
Isn't sexuality to a large extend ruled by shame and pride? (ergo social norms).
