Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at a heightened risk of cult influence due to their need for structure and acceptance. Cults exploit these vulnerabilities, employing manipulative tactics like 'love bombing' to draw in those who often feel isolated. The predictable environment of cults can seem appealing to those who struggle with social interactions. Additionally, the risk of sexual abuse is pronounced, highlighting the necessity for sexual education to inform and protect individuals on the spectrum from exploitation within these high-control groups.
Cults systematically dismantle personal autonomy, and those on the autism spectrum can find it a dishearteningly accelerated process. Seeking routine and honesty, their needs can be exploited.
The lure of high-control groups can captivate individuals with autism spectrum disorder due to their desire for structure, direct communication, and routine, which cults appear to offer.
Individuals on the autism spectrum, often feeling socially isolated, may find the initial 'love bombing' phase of cults particularly alluring, as it offers approval and belonging.
Sexual education is essential for those with autism spectrum disorder, especially as they are at a higher risk of sexual abuse within cult environments.
