Yes me too :- For me this is linked to the social communication difficulties.  As I too appear to have difficulties understanding other peoples intentions unless they are explicitly stated and ratified by their behaviour.  Many experiences of misapprehension, lies (well meaning or otherwise) lead me to very suspicious too.  The extra time and effort that I put into seeking explanation and clear and open communication appears to confuse many people - especially that when explored further many have no self-aware iinsight into why they are behaving the way they are!  

The key, for me, is to understand that sometimes I may be right to have concerns.  However being autistic in a neurotypical world it may be hard for me to know people's intentions in a way that the wider majority of society do.  Though this is persistent it is rational and therefore, as far as I analyse it personally, not paranoia.

Sometimes general or specific anxieties can increase being suspicions and the susceptibility to what is experienced.  Like many other autistic people I am chronically anxious - so this is a major factor for me.  So doing things about the anxiety helps.

A quotes lodged in my mind that perhaps is there for a reason so I would like to share it:

“All through my life I've had this strange unaccountable feeling that something was going on in the world, something big, even sinister, and no one would tell me what it was."
"No," said the old man, "that's just perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the Universe has that."
"Everyone?" said Arthur.
"Well, if everyone has that perhaps it means something!
Perhaps somewhere outside the Universe we know..."
"Maybe. Who cares?" said Slartibartfast before Arthur got too excited. "Perhaps I'm old and tired," he continued, "but I always think that the chances of finding what out really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied.”

All the best :-)

H2G2, my goto refuge whenever things got tough. Wish I was as stupefyingly bright and stuffed with morose humour as DA.
