Twin study suggests rationality and intelligence share the same genetic roots - the study suggests that being irrational, or making illogical choices, might simply be another way of measuring lower intelligence.

Saying people are unintelligent because of their skin color seems very different to saying that people who are irrational are unintelligent. If people were to attempt to define the concept of intelligence they would probably even use words like rational or logical. It just seems like the concepts are linked by default where a study claiming to verify this should in no way be inflammatory.

Yes, but we also immediately see people in the comments saying all autism should be 'cured', so I do see where some of the connotations are coming from

I think you are latching on to a secondary critique, which is not the one I was referring to. It's not a far leap to see an argument like this and worry about someone trying to revive eugenics because eugenicists based their claims on arguments from genetics.
