Careful with your syllogisms. Autism spectrum -> atheist only weakly implies atheist -> autism spectrum.

What it does imply is that autistics will be overrepresented in the set of atheists, hence when speaking to atheists there is a greater likelihood that one is speaking to an autistic than when speaking to theists.
