Here’s why libertarianism is associated with autism.

Textbook Economics micro/macro models economic conditions. Under these models, a set of libertarian policy proposals will always maximize wealth/happiness for the greatest number of people.

Austistic people prefer to model reality and live according to their model. Under textbook economics, libertarian proposals are a no brainer.

Here’s why they are wrong:

All economic models contain assumptions that must be true for the model to be of use. Libertarian policies often undermine these assumptions.

Example: the United States is a high trust society with a market with low transaction costs. Libertarian policy assumes this is true. This leads them to advocate policies like more immigration and more diversity, policies that actually lower trust and increase transaction costs (this lower trust is assumed away in their models and never even considered).

Looking back, the answer is obvious:

Because all libertarians are autistic.
