@Firstaide that's the main theory i agree with. heteronormativity/cisnormativity are social norms like anything else and since we don't absorb those automatically as easily we're more likely to diverge and since we're Weird Anyway we're more likely to just roll with it.
that said plenty of autistic guys are misogynist homophobic asshats so it's deffo more of a... relatively higher-than-allistics thing and not a Common thing
compliance with normality, autistic functioning labels
@DataPup @Firstaide We think that's one of the deepest traits that decided in the end between high and low functioning: whether someone could be convinced through enough training to think everyone needed to pretend to be normal. Some decide that being seen as normal or moving the idea of normal to include them is the only way they can be safe. Others are excluded or decline on their own to try to fit into the boundaries accepted by society.
