INTJ and ISTJ are the ones I frequently see with it. Don't know about other types.

 

Most of the symptoms seem similar to; low Fe, Se and intuition, however higher thinking, Fi and Si.

I would say xSTJ types are more correlated to ASD symptoms.
Types with intuition functions are quite conflicting since people with ASD tend to have difficulty understanding abstract concepts and are generally more linear thinking.

 

From my experiences in the office, I see a lot of INXPs with ASD, but I don't have a large enough sample to draw any strong conclusions from.

 

Autism is a developmental disorder, not a personality type. There are autistic people of a wide variety of personalities. Sure you can look at certain traits and correlate them to a certain MBTI or set of functions, but I really can't with MBTI people trying to give mental illnesses or other disorders a personality type. Their disorder inhibits certain mental functions. That's not their personality, that's their disease.

I had a guy in my college level literature class with Aspergers. He was super enthusiastic about literature and art, friendly, genuine, cracked jokes, and gestured wildly when he talked. It was only obvious he had Aspergers because of his jerky movements, his inability to regulate the volume of his voice and distinguish what was appropriate given the nuances of various social situations (which he asked the class to tell him immediately if he did or said something inappropriate so he could learn). Note how the manifestations of his ASD has nothing to do with his personality. No idea what his MBTI was.

 

That sounds legit.
To be honest I have allmost the same opinion as you about how people trying to link different mental illness/disorders with mbti without any research, facts, or studys. I am little skeptical myself to mbti, it maybe can say common personality traits to each type, but definitly not stuffs like if youre going to have depression, or how much money you will earn.

 

In the colloquial pejorative "Autism" sense— INTP by far.

In reality, from working with lots of autistic spectrum kids? It could be any type since they vary so much from person to person.

 

Certain types have a few traits in common with autism. That is NOT autism. MBTI does not measure neurological conditions -- It's simply preferences. For example, autistic people prefer solitude because they are overstimulated. Introverts prefer solitude because they are introverts.

Autistic people often have executive function disorders. However, Perceiving people prefer perceiving and thus may have weaker executive function. This is not because they have a neurological disorder.

 

To what point is it a disease and to what point is it simply a quirk?

 

From being around autistic adults a lot being in the communities I'm a part of, I don't really get an impression autism has that much bearing on type, yeah... They're actual people, not stereotypes. There's no good way to answer this question without descriping a stereotype rather than actual people.

I know someone who's diagnosed with autism and was tested at her workplace as being ISFJ. She's has trouble understanding the emotions and expectations of neurotypical people, but not because she doesn't care or because she isn't empathetic. The value she puts in Fe shows a lot around other neurodivergent people.

 

Based on the clue, people with autism are more socially awkward, delayed language speech, highly analytical, and adept at STEM. So, INTPs are more likely to exhibit ASD.

 

I wouldn't say any one particular type, but I'd imagine INTP would be overrepresented (also my type)

 

there are several enfps with it on this forum

 

a note… having traits that look like autism symptoms is not the same as having autism. There is no correlation between autism and mbti

 

I'm an outlier myself according to the correlation list (a neurotypical intuitive, how surprising!), and I know an autistic Fe-dom irl. His cognitive preferences don't contradict the diagnosis imo; on the contrary, it actually highlights the challenges he has to fully understand and accommodate the neurotypical world appropriately - at a higher frequency.

So to be completely honest here, I'm getting frustrated with these correlations between MBTI and neurological differences, as well as the people who used personality type as a diagnostic tool. While there's some sort of casual link between the two, people often ignore that correlation doesn't always imply causation.
