I've read a few places and have noticed this trait in real life myself. Hell, even I have fallen into this category.
It's been said, many people on the spectrum tend be very idealistic, tend to see things in a black & white way and have a strong sense of justice. Many, including myself like clear rules but also, believe power structures and rules should be questioned, as well as challenged if they don't serve a purpose. To put it another way, I don't subscribe to the notion of doing things " Just because I said so", there needs to be a clear justified reason, such as safety concerns or quality of work. Doing because someone is on a power trip, or they are one of these types of people that " Can do no wrong" doesn't fly with me.
I can be very black and white in how I think (although I've gotten better with that in recent years) and as stated above, I think things should always be questioned, even when it's not popular to do so. Which has gotten me trouble in a few situations.
I've noticed, many that I have met on the spectrum tend be left wing but like NT's, everyone is their own person. I'm neither left nor right these days. I know I'm not a socialist, as I don't believe in sharing money, but I also cannot stand religious right and all their stupidity.

This post relates to my last post actually. What draws me to right leaning circles is my anger at the modern justice system, the situation with the border, AI, globalism, and industrialization. I didn't initially seek out RW circles, but many people befriended me because of my anger at the crime and decay around us.
Do you think being opposed to industrialization is right-wing?
I don't think that is exclusively left or right thing. There are probably conservatives and rightists who are at least skeptical or anti-industry but there are those people on the left of the spectrum too. One example is the far-left Mao Zedong.
I'm aware but it has influenced my beliefs, and I do have strong views regarding tribalism.
That is the view that is put out there about us however I would question that now about the majority.
Many autistic people generally have mainstream views largely influenced by those around them.
Many for example are happy to go along with ND viewpoints that lack any logic or scientific reasoning without question.
Simply going along with whatever ND influencer says on line clapping like performing seals while making them rich in the process by buying their book or site click advertising.
I would say only a minority question things and have unusual views
