I objected to it when he wrote the remark. If you'd like to re-post the entire merge so we can read it again, I'm sure we'll come across that as well as other of my objections eventually.

No need. It’s on a loop. Every time sexist comments are excused because the male making them “might be on the spectrum,” it starts up again.

To answer your question, sometimes boorish behavior is the result of lack of social skills and people on the autism spectrum definitionally have impairments in social skills. Throw in some other autism-spectrum traits, such difficulty forming relationships, as obsessive / repetitive focus on narrow topics of interest, spontaneous, disconnected conversational style, etc. and it's not hard to see where the armchair diagnoses are coming from.
I generally dislike armchairism, and I definitely don't think every bad actor can be reduced into "must be autistic." I that's more of an insult to people with autism than anything. That said, DT gives off some high-functioning autism vibes, and I at least get why someone might see that. I don't think it's advisable to be diagnosing him, but at the same time, thinking the idea he might be on the spectrum is just a lame excuse for misogyny isn't quite right either.
For what it is worth, adults on the spectrum have an on average tendency to find it easier to socialize with people that are either older or younger than people their own age...
Honestly how on earth did you find that? Why are you so obsessed with me? In that post I misspelled the word "autism", so there is no way you could have found that by searching for "autism".

Many righteous LDS men want the same thing. That opinion and feeling should be respected.
Let me say it again, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a woman with a lot of experience. At least not for now, but I won't care in the future. Why? Because I don't want to get an STD before having children.
By again, my comment wasn't sexist, but I am sorry for using offensive an vulgar language.

That goes to the idea I had earlier when I asked DT two questions regarding younger/older women. I wanted to find out if he was thinking about degrees of experience and expectations. Example, if he thought that a younger less experienced partner or a partner with no experience at all might have lesser expectations. Or if he thought later in life he'd be more experienced and therefore more confident.
But he didn't reply to that effect so I still don't know and I didn't want to push it.
