Autistic people are usually portrayed as change-adverse, and a lot of times traditional-tending people, and for sure some are, i have meet a few, but at the same time, a lot of new or alternative stuff is full to the brim of autists as well, like here, the Fediverse, is reasonably easy to find autists here, linux is another great example, linux spaces are full of linux-autist too.

In my experience, some autistic people are way more open to give a chance to new or different stuff than most people, not all autists, for sure, but many enough to notice this pattern, i think all people i have ever convinced to try linux are autistic, not even a single NT.

You have a good way of saying it there, I feel the same way about myself and change vs. surprise. I think it could be said like that if I feel active in the concept of "change" and the implementation I believe I would be completely ok with it, but if it is conceived for me and implemented on me so to say I wouldn't be. And for the lack of change again, if I feel active etc. I'd be okay if nothing changes, but if it is forced on me I'd be not. Like socioeconomical troubles the world is facing, and the lack of change therein, though this is something I feel quite strongly about. Or maybe I'm just a control freak like that!
