And I’d imagine that this applies to politics as well. Given the popularity of /c/autism, there seems to be a correlation between autistic people and political beliefs on Lemmy that seem resistant to propagandized beliefs, though it may that other propaganda just hadn’t kicked off here in earnest yet.

I’d love to get your subjective opinions on this with caveat that correlation does not imply causation.

Also hope this isn’t sensitive. Figure this would help me the autistic community

    I believe most people think they’re more immune against advertisement than they actually are. Our purchasing decisions are influenced by ads more than we would like to admit.

    That being said, I think there’s some truth to the statement. Autistic people are not affected by peer pressure in the same way.
