You have very little evidence here—a couple posts, and a notion that a “large fraction of LW is on the autism spectrum”. I’ve seen some people mention this but I’m not aware of evidence of a “large fraction”. A large fraction would be like 5%, right? That would be about 10 times as many people as in the general population. Do you have evidence of even that much?
I don’t know the actual percentages. There was a poll on this very question a while ago. See here but the sampling issues make it very hard to judge how accurate it is.
