I've discussed this issue a few times here in the past. I believe this amounts to a dichotomy of sorts where people on the spectrum of autism are concerned.
Where it's likely a majority of those on the spectrum are likely to be averse to being under the strict control of much of anyone. Conversely in literal terms of a totalitarian state, I believe that there would be a minority of those on the spectrum who just might thrive in such a rigid, monolithic society.
Where no one is supposed to stand out as an individual. Where everyone remains equally obedient to the state. A social condition that actually enhances one's ability to mask their traits and behaviors because instead of socially emulating a majority of people around you, you simply adapt to one single school of thought that dominates every aspect of one's day-to-day life. A world in which individuality is something anywhere between that which is discouraged, and that which is prohibited.
Though in my own case I'm one who is averse to being under the control of much of anyone. Yet I have always found totalitarianism and authoritarian mass movements utterly fascinating. Go figure...
