💡 Takeaway:
Autistic people’s reasoning styles are shaped not just by traits, but also by how they respond to uncertainty.
IU plays a powerful role in fostering a more deliberative, careful approach to thinking.

📌 The biggest driver?
A strong desire for predictability (known as prospective intolerance of uncertainty).
This shapes how autistic people approach decision-making & reasoning.

🔎 Previous research linked intolerance of uncertainty (IU) to higher anxiety in autistic people.
This study shows, for the first time, that IU is also tied to deliberative reasoning styles.

✨ Key finding:
Autistic people (and those with more autistic traits) are more likely to think carefully & deliberatively—and less likely to rely on intuition—compared to non-autistic people.
