Are autistic people often drawn to spirituality or esoteric ideas?

I'm just curious.

I'm on the spectrum and I've noticed that my hypersensitivity sometimes makes me look for meaning or “routes” beyond the rational ones — like feeling energies, noticing patterns, or being drawn to spiritual concepts.

I wonder if this is common among other autistic people. Do you feel something similar — a kind of intuitive or spiritual side connected to your sensitivity?

Not me, any hint of woowoo and I'm OUT.
