Autism is a trip cus there'll consistently be studies showing autistic people are on average more generous towards strangers and less likely to break their moral convictions for personal gain, but you're not allowed to acknowledge that or basically everyone is gonna jump into your mentions to tell you off for thinking autistics are better than other people.

And like, yes, if someone is actually getting a superiority complex out of it, they are wrong. Autistic people are ultimately just people, no better or worse, and having a strong sense of justice isn't necessarily helpful on its own if you're on the wrong track or simply misinformed.

But the reason this sort of thing stands out to us is because of how pathologized autism is and how absurd that becomes when you look at the evidence. Im picturing people sitting around a table brainstorming like "so, how can we spin 'generosity, creativity and strong sense of justice' into something negative?"

You knoow that if it was the other way around an autistic people where the ones who found it easier to ignore moral convictions for personal gain, we'd never hear the end of it, we'd be seen as the devil incarnate.
