If you oppose change, then you must hate the so-called conservative movement. The conservative movement has been very radical in making changes, from deregulation to free trade deals to tax cuts for the rich and tax increases and service cuts to everyone else, to user fees and privatisation and having to pay more for everything to complex schemes set up to replace what was simple before but which benefits wealthy people and is allegedly more efficient. Theirs is a very threatening type of change particularly to people who are in any way vulnerable and feel themselves as being such. They promote these quack ideas that everyone being mean to each other simultaneously will cause the ultimate synergy of goodness beyond what people can plan - almost as if the gods are designing things under their formula. Their economic plans are not unlike voodoo witchcraft of offering sacrifices, making chants and incantations designed to get the gods to provide bounty and not rain down wrath on the people - this primitivity I don't think would play well with rational people at all.

I vote 'no'. Some are one some are the other some are both some are neither some are other. Personally I count myself as conservative and happen to vote Republican because most of my family does and I wish they'd just let you vote for whoever regardless of party as I don't think they're that important. I am somewhat against democrats because most that I see are liberal (see on TV). The one I know personally is not and only votes that way because it's his party(my grandfather).

I really don't see the point in the party system. I think that if I am to vote I should be informed about the people qualified for the job and then allowed to pick who I will.

I rarely vote much as all the TV says is x is a jerk vote for y who paid for this ad and then y is a jerk vote for x who paid for this ad. Don't they have better things to do with their time and money? I wont vote for x or y because all I've seen them do is spread rumors about each other. It's really petty and childish in my opinion.

Sorry for the rant.

I'm very liberal socially, and still more fiscally liberal than I am fiscally conservative.

Economically, I'm just to the left (a half box). Socially, I lean pretty far toward Libertarian (4.5 boxes).

The American political spectrum is quite unique, and the United States is the only place where it is used. In most other countries, the liberals are seen as either the centrists or the right, never as the left. Most people here evidently identify themselves with liberalism, which is pretty rational given that the more economically and socially conservative a country is, the harder it will be for aspies.

Conservative and within the same area as Stephen Harper.

I'd say more likely to be liberal, but a substantial minority of Aspies are extremely conservative. I think we tend to be pretty extreme one way or the other, there's lots of aspies who are communists and libertarians.

I voted liberal because I notice I am more open minded than conservatives and they seemed to be closed minded and judgmental and act controlling and stick their business in other peoples and they are so narrow minded. I have been told I am more liberal because of my beliefs.

I am what you would call a non-theistic libertarian conservative (Not the Misesian/Rothbardian tradition anymore as I now advocate the addendum of populist solutions like a sovereign debt and interest free currency, which would be issued by a national monetary authority and will fund very basic public services like roads, bridges and robust manufacturing at the localized levels (e.g. investment in thorium, hydroelectric dams and analyze the environmental beneficence, as-well as the viable possibility of nuclear fusion) that would not usually exist in a limited government or society with very minimal taxation), which means that I repudiate at behaviorisms associated with hedonistic libertinism (cultural Marxism, materialistic consumerism), yet simultaneously exhibit an exorbitantly level of social naivety, as-well not believing in government interventions to proscribe them against the person's intrinsic will, as this is a key polemical expostulation to crackdown on Big Government rather than having to subsidize the mass surveillance state repetitiously due to multiple contraventions of recreational drug legislation (and other personally irresponsible nanny statist laws), especially for medical marijuana and LSD's.

I generally differ from Austro-Libertarians as I'm now in content for supporting a protectionist trade policy, fully enforced anti-trust legislation, sustainable regulation of the financial markets and the issuance of a debt and interest free currency (no fractional reserve lending or usury) by the national Treasury, so my independent economic positions would be more recurrent with the neo-isolationist American paleoconservatives rather than the majority in the libertarian movement, who vociferously adulate the undependable gold standard to the ad infinitum that it simply becomes a mindless form of political groupthink. I personally believe in a cultural paradigm shift to transit into a society that is stringently based on:

Free Enterprise
Natural Law
Self Reliance
Voluntary Association
Localism
Free Will
Individuality
Meritocracy

and away from:

Neo-Conservatism
Cultural Marxism/Identity Politics
Secular Humanism
Religious Fundamentalism
Socialism/Collectivism
Corporate Globalisation
Supranationalism
"Democracy"
Globalism and Interventionism (antithetical to isolationism)
International Finance
Central Banking
The Fallacious Left and Right Paradigm (a blasphemous, falsifiable dichotomy)

Are aspies and High functioning autistics more likely to be socially and economically conservative?

I would say no, because they are often propensified to collectivist ideologies due to their self introspections and cognizance of their socially discrepant abilities to adapt in life, presumably due to the underlying nature of our social hindrance to neurotypical conformance norms and our heightened risk of being reprehended by them as such, but not all autistic people believe in socialism, even if they are non-theists and/or come from a working class socioeconomic background; furthermore, they're are a relatively preponderant number of autistic libertarians (both the collectivist neo-Chomskyite, neo-liberal Friedmanite, and the laissez faire Rothbardian types) who browse around in these forums. The prevalence of independent thinking in autistic/aspergian people often grants them imperviousness to Biblical literalism and the various assortment of anti-intellectual "goddidit" postulations, so it's no wonder they are more likely to reject the deracinated perilousness of organized religion and substitute it with a non-theistic philosophy that preaches the essence of Darwinian Evolution. I don't think I've ever heard of an autistic adherent (except one or two on an on-line forum somewhere) of the neurodiversity movement affiliate with the right wing end of the political spectrum, which the mainstream conception of this is flawed and the real one functions on a disparate scale from communism/fascism to anarchist philosophization .

I'm Canadian eh and I voted for the liberals this past election though the first time I voted in the federal election I voted green

I can't understand the conservative ways

I'd take Labour over the Conservatives any day. Not sure if something similar applies in America, but England has made me hate the word 'Conservative'. I'm incredibly left wing. Freedom.

I lean as more liberal for sure though some take that to mean I perfectly align with the democratic party and blindly support it which is false.
