Lord's autism theory is quite appealing, but all ideas are welcome at this point. Let's see if we can't put our heads to

I don't think the Soapbox as a whole is triggered. I think certain sensitive posters who see themselves as representative soapboxers are vexed that the message board of an admittedly inferior series should be held up as a paragon of board-excellence. And they have good reason to be vexed.

If someone's triggered, then they're being emotional and empathic, the antithesis of autism. A triggered person is familiar with societal norms, which autistic people are not.
The Soapbox is more random and careless, while the TWD is more organized and routine, and the TWD still talk about stories from 3 years ago; it's much more methodical while Soapbox is more chaotic - hence, TWD is much more autistic than the Soapbox, by far.
Also, Soapbox has more gays. Statistically, autistic people are not gay, because you factor in society's norms to become gay. It's a decision based on lust and emotion, which autistic people generally lack.
All facts point to TWD clearly exhibiting more signs of autism.
