Are people with ASD's more likely to be atheists

Are people with ASD's more likely to be atheists

http://csjarchive.cogsci.rpi.edu/proceed...er0782.pdf (this a study published in a peer review journal)

After reading this articles and doing some thinking. Do you think people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders are more likely to be atheists than those who dont have ASD's.

I have to say in my experience of meeting many people with ASD's or at least suspected had ASD's. Overall when it came to religious views, they did not seem much different from people who don't have ASD's. For example; I know an teenage boy who is an evangelical christian and young adult guy who is a devout Catholic.

Although I do admit the hardcore anti-religion people met I have met, I suspected had an ASD. Maybe it was the obsessive nature of their opposition to religion perhaps.
