@keegantatum: Why autistic people are so often very progressive or radically left wing, part 2. Examining analytical thinking and political views. #fyp #politicalpsychology #autism #politics #autistic

abs :

you mean critical thinking, and looking up statistics, gathering information not opinions

☢️SS262☢️ :

Or the complete opposite

Erin Erin :

Because we love justice and critical thinking

Mainly-Marisa 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️🟰 :

I wonder if this is related to why they want to eradicate or institutionalize people with autism.

chaotic meteor :

always thought it was the other way around 😂

King :

When I heard that people say autistic people have "a stronger sense of justice" that never sat right with me. I'm just hyperaware of the ungodly amount of injustice in the world because of my autism. Plus a good amount of that injustice directly affects me (neurodivergent, queer, transgender, etc)

Caatsutizard :

I want fairness and everyone to live in peace and harmony.

Leo 🇬🇧🇳🇴 :

logical, empathetic and act on values

Leonard gz :

because i dont want people to get hurt, It pains to get hurt so i dont want anyone passing trough that

The Lost Holocron :

Bc we smart

✯𝕸𝖆𝖗x𝖎𝖘𝖙L𝖊𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖎𝖘𝖙☭ :

Well that explains allot doesn’t it mate

Lucysleeched :

people in the comments saying they are right wing when they have autism, it's because we are also impressionable, and want to fit in. So if our family is right wing, we think we are too. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.

TheOutsider :

If you apply logic to every thought, you will always arrive at the same place.

⚛︎meeeeeeeeeeeeeep⚛︎ :

anti anti justice

Brit 🫶 :

am I crazy or is "intuition" literally just pattern recognition that we're recognising the shape of before our conscious mind has been able to specifically identify and articulate the pattern? intuition sounds kinda woo woo, I don't think it's a 6th sense. I don't think it's some unexplained phenomenon.

Verena :

Because it just makes sense. It's not like I chose to be left at some point - it just seems inevitable when you really think about .. well, everything 😅

SoulSister :

theyre LOGICAL!

Tinuman🇨🇭 :

Not Elon…

JJ :

bc we smart

VEA :

... because if you check facts and google stuff for more than 10 minutes it is the natural conclusion to at least not be right wing.

~•Apollo•~🍓🐮 :

Bigotry just doesn’t make sense to me lmao. I hate people based on their individual actions and their attitude towards how their actions affect others. But hating a group of people based on something they can’t control is just like.. so confusing

TonyT5 :

saturns_rings :

most autistic people have good critical thinking skills because we like looking things up and learning

I just REALLY want everything to be completely fair, which wont really work

Catrina :

Oh that’s a human I think they should be able to live in shelter, have access to food, healthcare and safety. If that’s radical I think it’s human decency
