Well at first glance I just went with what I was thinking and actually it's high percentage overall and increasing. 1 in every 50 people in the US are diagnosed with it and many times it goes missed so it's more like 1 in 40 or less and this site alone draws in many people with autism. Over half the people on this site have autism.
And their story doesn't mean they don't have autism lol so not sure where you're going with that. I'm not saying they without a doubt have it anyway just saying it's common for this site and being too honest is common with autism so thought I'd leave that info with OP.
I definitely have some autistic tendencies. I have never been diagnosed with it though. I have crazy ups and downs as well I'm very happy and excited for days and then the next day I'm moping around feeling down. Idk if thats another autistic trait. I seem to be all over the place emotionally but I'm good at hiding it.
But, I would guess that at least 30% of the population are noticeably not honest; and not every autistic person is honest either (personal experience). I've never seen any studies that suggest that autistic people are more honest than the general population. Can you post a link to one published in a medical or scientific journal.
By far, the most likely explanation is simple dishonesty vs honesty.
I highly doubt that half the people on this site have autism, I even doubt that 10% of the people on this site have autism.
I think you are projecting something you have personal experience with onto others; and your projections are far from reality.
Many of the symptoms that autistic people have also occur from other things.
