i'd argue that the conformist position is extremist, not the autist position. conformists, generally centrists, believe that everyone can only have opinions in the m to n range. autists might want to hold position a, b, c, d, or e, but they're perfectly happy to allow other people to hold position v, w, x, y, or z. autists want to hold an extremist position in a liberal way. conformists want to hold a centrist position in an extremist way.
