I said as much. The thing about anecdotes is, while they aren't proof, then can point you in a direction to look. So the results might be meaningless. Or they might be something to investigate. So I did. Seems that this correlates with at least one study. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Their conclusions are a little weak. They don't consider the well-known fact that those on the spectrum have much higher rates of sexual assault and victimization than the general population. And that tends to affect traits like assertiveness, leadership and competitiveness. Which they identify as male traits. The fact that these traits are weaker for both sexes should have been a clue. Nor do they consider the fact that those on the spectrum tend not to care what NTs think. Much of the chronic bullying has its roots in this. So it could be that the cause of at least some of these differences in rates of bisexuality in particular may be because they don't conform to social pressures.
