Politics is full of nuance and contextual information; so struggling with interpreting social contexts can lead to autistic people being gullible.

Mood.

It's very difficult but luckily most neoliberal politicians are abject liars so it's easier if you just assume everything they say is bs and work from there I find.

It helps a lot to get the material interests and conditions of journalist; they can be a good predictor for what news they'll produce.

I might start doing that 👌👍

I'm in the same boat and this had led me to doing a lot of research before I form an opinion about anything.

I wish I did that. Instead I just assume what they're saying is right.

I agree and I suffer from this to some degree

Yep. It's unsurprising that autistics are easier radicalized then, often into fascism. (This could be used to our advantage though; autistics could also be easily radicalized into marxist communists.)
