N=37% of 249, or about 92 (not counting option 4). Twice as many people who self-classify as on autism spectrum lean left as right This would be a narrative violation for some. I’d like to see a gen-pop real survey on this as opposed to my twitter neighborhood

You should have done non-spectrum left, non-spectrum right to figure out what the baseline is for people following you. I suspect the number is lower than 37%.

Yeah, but given limit of 4 options, I made the tradeoff of offering an ‘other’ option to spectrum people. The relative comparison would be suggestive but weak given my overall sampling problems.

Narrative rationalization: Autism-spectrum population is risk-averse but not pro-social, prefers an institutional safety net and "freedom from" over either lack of safety and "freedom to", or a social support network. Not sure if it's falsifiable.
