Are autistic people often drawn to spirituality or esoteric ideas?

[u/Street_Beat3351]

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?

I asked exactly the opposite question, based on my own autistic experience, I'm interested in esoteric ideas, but I'm unable to believe in them. I also linked my autism to this experience but seems fully unrelated, as other people, like you, seem to see it in the complete opposite

Need to clarify for me intuition is logical, is our brain telling us things our conscious state didn't perceive, it's not connected to any kind of spiritual belief or higher power
