I really have to push back with the narrative that some Autistic people have that we are somehow a more morally pure, honest, scrupulous, or rational group. We are human beings. It's ultimately counter productive and dehumanizing to portray ourselves as somehow superior or less morally compelx than our NT counterparts. It's true that we experience reality a little differently, but plenty of us lie, cheat, rationalize bad behavior, distort our thinking, etc -- myself very much included. And I won't throw antisocial people under the bus by comparing them to NTs. They are an oppressed, highly stigmatized group just like us.
