I thought of this topic because I can't help but notice that a good amount of the autistic lolcows we talk about are absolute scumbags (Chris, Shaner, etc. also I refuse to call ADF anything but a white cisgendered neurotypical male just because it more effectively gaslights his bullshit behavior), yet on the other side of the coin there's autistics who are so morally driven, you'd think they're compensating for something. Some of us here know that it can be difficult for an autistic person to process anything more complex than absolute black and white, good vs evil (which could be why shows and games targeted towards children seem so popular with them), and even if they have a broader moral spectrum/compass, they could be afraid that others (even normies) think of morality only in black and white and act absolutely towards one side to avoid a tainted image.

So I'm not saying that autistic people are all absolutely amoral fiends here, just that with autism, morality tends to either go to "absolute scum of the earth" or "might as well be the reincarnation of GodJesus", with little in between, and there may be a way to explain this trend. There could even be some discussion as to the perception of others' morality by autistic people.

But hey, that's just a theory. A SPERG Theory.

I'm also not discrediting the idea that there could be smearing involved.

Why do speds keep making these terrible threads? Yes some people with autism are bad people just as some neurotically people are awful.
I know NTs can be bad, but it's not so much autistics are bad as it is just talking about absolutes and moral perception.
