The funny thing is, all of my friends with autism are fiercely political. If you asked me, I'd probably say people with autism were MORE political than those without. Of course, none of my friends with autism work in software.

Are we talking about the same kind of politics? Because, from my experience, autistics are more likely to hold strong views and discuss the "big" politics (as in, people ruling the country) while allistics are more into the practical "small" politics (like, say, typical office drama).

Uh... that kind of "politics". I can't speak to that, I stay out of office drama, so I don't know who's instigating xD

The concept of "fairness" is a big deal to people on the spectrum. I could see that leading to strongly held political ideologies.
