Are autistics conservatives or liberals?

I'm conservative.

we aspies especially, need to remember, that when we encounter a Stochastic Terrorist* - that we must 1] not turn our backs on them, we must be vigilant in the face of their clear and present danger, 2]realize there is no debating such, they will merely raise their volume [and add violence] to drown you out, 3] disseminate what evil comes out of their mouths so that all may know who the danger is, spread the warning about the speaker and the evil he represents, and 4] avoid direct confrontation with them, and let them stew in their own foul rhetoric, and let their increasingly vile words demonstrate their ulterior motives to all.

*STOCHASTIC TERRORISM BASICS
The term stochastic occurs in a wide variety of professional or academic fields to describe events or systems that are unpredictable due to the influence of a random variable. The word "stochastic" comes from the Greek word στόχος (stokhos, "aim").
As a descriptor of a type of terrorism, it is the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted: "The lone-wolf attack was apparently influenced by the rhetoric of stochastic terrorism." A public figure of major import, with ready access to the public media/religious pulpit, demonizes a person or group of people, with the goal of advancing his or her own ulterior ends. With repetition, the targeted group is gradually dehumanized, depicted as loathsome and dangerous, arousing a combustible combination of fear and moral disgust. Violent images and metaphors, jokes about violence, analogies to past purges of reviled groups, use of righteous religious language - all of these typically stop just short of an explicit call to arms. When violence eventually, resultantly erupts, the public figures who have incited the violence condemn it, claiming that nobody could have foreseen the "tragedy." Stochastic terrorism as a concept, is at least as old as the third reich and the other racial purges of the early 20th century.

Most people are about "self-interest" and not a political camp.

I'm an independent becoming a libertarian.

This thread yikes.

To answer the OP, autistics come in all political stripes. It turns out having a certain diagnostic criteria does not predict your political leanings. Who knew?

i am as left-wing, as my dad was right-wing.

My father was a moderate conservative. I’m more centrist.
