Lol, I’m the autistic where I just believe other people. Shockingly, it’s worked out poorly.
You're normal in that respect:

In fact, the idea that autistic individuals are immune to propaganda is, itself, media propaganda. The study that those articles report on was a single study that found that autistic individuals show less of a framing effect on their own preferences. It's much more easily explained by autistic individuals having strong, internal preferences for their own likes/dislikes than it is by autistic individuals being immune to propaganda.
Speaking from experience here, too.
Same. If it wasn't true, why would they say it?
I am... Not smart lol.
