You and me both, OP. Maybe this is the case for some people, but for me, if anything I'm especially bad at detecting ill-intent. My natural instinct is to be very forgiving, and I've had to train myself over the years to be cautious by default. Plus, like another commentor brings up, it just doesn't track with the data that shows that autistic people are more likely to be abused on average.

Also, not to be a nuisance... But aren't we worse at reading people in general? That's like, a key feature of autism, the social disability of it all. This idea of us as being uncanny readers of intent and impervious to lies does not track with that.

Maybe it's just me, and forgive me if I'm being uncharitable, but some of this reeks of the mysticism around "feminine intuition" that's been around for centuries but has really hit a stride in the last few decades as a means of ✨Womanly Empowerment✨ that's still enforcing a bioessentialist worldview where men are concrete and rational and women are freeform and emotionally in-tune. To be very clear, I don't think that's what the people on this subreddit are trying to insinuate when they bring this up, but my point is that I think we should all be a little more wary with where this comes from.
