I have noticed, I don't get instinctively scared of people most NTs would be scared of. From talkative poor/homeless people who smoke, to people with irrational/crazy, or even extreme beliefs..
Of course, I try to stay sane myself, and am certainly not extreme, but, unlike most people, I don't mind talking to people, who are not sane, even if my ration says they may be harmful (so long as my intuition says they are good people in Soul)..
Is this a general Autism trait?
That's definitely could be. One of the issues that autistic people often times have is that top down perception isn't mandatory for us the way that it is for NTs. As in our intellectual capacity doesn't automatically flavor our perception of what's going on. The result is that when confronted by something like these sorts of people we don't necessarily automatically recognize a potential threat. And, sometimes that's a good thing, but sometimes it leads to a lot of risk as those sorts of people don't just come in safe and quirky varieties, some of them are legitimately dangerous.
