Autism and Aspergers

As someone on the spectrum, this puzzles me. Why is it that most autistic people are very trusting of authority and government? Many autistic people lean left or far left politically. It’s a curious paradox: one would think that a group known for their rejection of societal norms would be against coercive power structures. During the COVID scamdemic, I couldn’t find one fellow aspie who could think critically about the official narrative. I felt very betrayed. Can anyone here offer some insight about this?
