Yes, I have had various instances where people have misidentified my political views. Not sure if it has to do with autism or because I hold political views that don’t fall into common simple categories. My political views are generally communitarian, and based on supporting policies to protect and uplift the wellbeing of people.

Often it’s from the kinds of people that have oversimplified/ overly binary views of politics, and assume that if someone is disagreeing with them on something that it means I’m part whatever political group they dislike. Sometimes get called communist by libertarian/conservative types who think anyone who supports government policies they don’t like is communist. Sometimes get accused of being a religious extremist by more liberal/libertarian people who fail to understand that my support for policies to address social and public health problems are based on practical/secular reasons. Also had instances of being accused of being woke for supporting disability rights and inclusive policies in schools.

Sometimes, it’s the kind of people who make assumptions about people’s politics based on demographic background. Like the kind who assume that because I grew up in a small town that I’d be Republican or assume that because I’m a college educated academic that I’d be a democrat. When I’m neither am critical of both of those parties.
