Critics of the LGBTQ+ movement would use this data to undermine the rights of people who belong to this category. Due to their prejudice against both autism and non-heterosexuality.
Supporters of the LGBTQ+ movement will reject this data due to their prejudice and lack of understanding about autism, making them perform the exact prejudice that the society gave them, but towards autistic peoples.
But the truth is, this current studies only shows that we have more to learn about autism, specially the high functioning class. Also, some study suggest that "normalized" autistics - who do not have LGBTQ+ tendencies, or able to accept normalcy and heterosexuality - are the once who were able to meet their needs through their social supports. It is well known that a lot of autistic, though unable to perform socially, they may have extraordinary talents sometimes in prodigy levels. Some people may even claim that some well known prodigies are actually high-functioning autistics themselves.
What does this mean to us then?
1- We should be more accepting of autism, and their potential contribution to society. The existence of LGBTQ+ movement is a reminder of our neglect to these people, and because we dont understand the source of their non-conformity.
2- We should also recognize that the push towards transitioning might be an act of giving in to the obsessive tendency of autistic people. We might have to rethink if this is truly a solution. This procedure only takes away from looking at the root of the problem - the lack of understanding about autism and their needs unfulfilled.
3- Any rejection of the LGBTQ+ movement based on religious beliefs should be invalidated. The minds of people who have autism do not operate the same way, therefore pushing a religion on them does not solve anything. It might even be contributing to their negative perception of normalcy.
4- A good understanding of the relentless obsessive bahavior within the autism and lgbtq+ might allow us to divert this gender obsession to something more productive for the society, but it also entails that we might have sort out what is truly productive for society to norms that only serve to conformity.
