I've got rhythms I haven't used yet... The only NT in a house of NDs. Spent 5 hours in A&E on a first date. Distributed Easter eggs in the Andes. Broke my first window aged 2.
To clarify... I see tropes that "the radicalised" (the nutjobs) are often autistic... but correlation is not causation... and I read your point as *vulnerability* to being manipulated, and radicalised... as opposed to being a cause of it.

So, I'm the only NT in a family of NDs... I do get worried about the below perspective, however... I do understand it, but worry it is also a trope...
Autism => vulnerability (prone) to manipulation, but not the *cause* of radicalisation

As they note on the C4 programme about Hitler's DNA, autism can manifest as seeing things in black and white terms, and that can then make one prone to radicalisation.
