I feel like we probably need to address the fact that, unfortunately, the rigid fix rules based world views of society are inherently appealing to those on the spectrum. By no means does being autistic make one automatically tolerant or decent. Autistic people can vote, can endorse the violent oppression of those found disagreeable, can persuade others to their view, and be all manners of discriminatory.
I believe being on the spectrum may make it easier to open constructive dialog, but not always.
Being on the spectrum myself coming from a conservative upbringing, i am in no illusion of what kind of person i could have been. It has been countless peoples conflicting perspectives and patience that has lead me to (what i hope to) be fair and tolerant to other perspectives and backgrounds

That’s leaning real hard on the toe line triune biblical interpretation, my friend. To get the trinity out of the bible you gotta be lookin for it really hard. The history of christianity is littered with groups advocating and being persecuted for every imaginable interpretation of god, but the trinity folks really knew how to murder their way to top dog better than any other group

Religious groups are about the last active groups who can be swayed to actually do something about the state of the world, i don’t understand why we rail so hard against them. So what if we willfully subscribe to fantasy and fairy tail? Are you trying to say that we are weak for enjoying video games, role playing, good books and company?

My wife worked at a grocery store and as i heard their union boss golfed with the CEO of the grocery store… as i understand it that was HR masquerading as a union, by the time she left it sure was acting the part too

Can we just leave it in the Mexico parking lot and just have them deal with it however they see fit? A lot of Texans already speak some spanish, i’m sure they’ll integrate just fine
