Thanks! Yeah, I impulsively rejected that stance, since in my experience and from what I know about autism, I would have assumed lower rates of crime among us. Particularly, autistic people tend to be more justice-oriented and rules-based than others, so I would assume that would lead to lower rates of crime. However, I DDG'd to see if I could find anything. According to this Psychology Today article that reports on study, autism actually served as a protective factor among those with conduct disorder and ADHD. This literature review also points to lower rates of crime among the autistic population.
