@Seth_Wachhaltamittel I see people post this a lot and I always say the same thing. Autists aren't immune to it, they're more susceptible to some kinds of it and less susceptible to others, and that varies from autist to autist.

Since autistic people often don't have very good social skills, they'll be more susceptible to shit that preys on that. Anything that makes them feel more accepted or celebrated in a group, especially if that group is one they already take part in.

See speedrunning, for example. I'd wager to say the majority of them are autistic in some fashion, and they have the largest amount of trannies being put on display to the point where I found an article about a bunch of female speedrunners and they were literally all trannies. These autistic guys would have never had the same amount of celebration surrounding them to the point they get featured in an article on the biggest speedrunning website unless they became trans.
