I was once infiltrated with a communistic leaning mindset on the economy whilst upholding a moderate stance on social and domestic policies until the age of 14 or 15. As of today for the past two years I would now be considered a conservative minarchist (Conservative Libertarianism) and a strident individualist in the tradition of the Austrian Economists Ludwig Von Mises and Murray Rothbard, but I am still a perennial agnostic non-theist (from birth) since decamping my antecedently populist views and my questionable “loyalty” to the supercilious skeptic community (e.g. “Rationalwiki” or New Atheists), although I still retain a preponderant share of the inferences of such self-proclaimed conformist “freethinkers” (other than things like debunker groupthink, cultural Marxism, transhumanism and collectivism).
I’m staunchly critical of the hypersexualization and pseudo-individualization of millennial youth culture, new social movements, emancipatory identity politics (both on the left and right), materialistic consumerism (exacerbated by Keynesianism, collectivist entitlement mentalities, the digital age, and dumbed down culture); nevertheless, I repudiate the notion of proscribing against the nihilistic abhorrences of moral relativism and social progressivisms like gay marriage, sodomy, bigamy, recreational drug use, pornography as it’s none of my personal entanglements.
Although libertarianism is conspicuously prevalent (whether they are anarcho-collectivist Chomskyites or Randian Objectivists), most autistics and aspies (especially within the neurodiversity movement) are naturally propensified to progressive collectivist ideologies due to a possibly nurtured collective mentality (despite reluctance to conform other than private in-group identity politics, usually derived from online forums) from social justice awareness and are therefore skeptical of individualist conceptualizations such as free will, natural law, propertarianism, individual liberty and the rule of law which tend to be ordained by a governed constitution.
ASD individuals can believe in any political/religious ideology (I've heard of one on a forum who identifies as a Christian Reconstructionist), but I've never heard of one such individual who believed in neo-conservatism. My postulation for the crony state monopolistic corporatist system is attributed to our debt based fiat monetary system, friedmanite monetarism, governmentally administered free trade agreements (NAFTA, WTO - no voluntary transactions), centralized banking (Federal Reserve, Bank of England), fiat currency, fractional reserve banking and the intergovernmental supranationalist financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, which I believe are all an intercessive and counterproductive antithesis of a true laissez faire enterprise economy.
