Prone to mental health issues

That is kind of vague. Not all mental issues are clinical.

Aspies [ASD1s] are at a very low risk for clinical mental illnesses. Our biggest vulnerability is being taken advantage of due to our diminished social instinct.

I disagree. Quite a few of us here with ASD1 diagnoses do in fact have clinical mental illnesses.

No necessarily.
It depends on how they have lived their lives.
It sounds harsh but we create our own circumstances. That is to say, some successful Aspies grew up in Rotten circumstances.
