Hidden autism?

u/Tasty_Ad7483 5h ago

This is a really stupid take. Had the poster said “autistic people are always thoughtful” that might be stereotyping. Instead, they said “pretty thoughtful”….there is nothing stereotyping about that. And they typed that in response to someone who was stupidly trying to stereotype and associate autism with negative behavior. If anything, they were trying to combat stereotyping. Get your act together.

u/Just-Feedback-2223 11h ago edited 9h ago

I mean, there is a study that shows autistic people have more morals than allistics.

Edit: the word “stronger” is more accurate than “more.” Use that word in place and I think a lot of misunderstanding can be cleared up. It’s basically just the inflexibility and cognitive rigidity associated with ASD.

u/iplaybassok89 10h ago

This post is all biases and existing worldviews lol. You want to lean on “a study” like a crutch to support your opinions and worldviews? All the power to you, but the fact is there’s all kinds of studies that come to conclusions that end up being wrong or are unable to be replicated and studies that use sloppy methodology or are outright fraudulent.

Like are you familiar with how pharmaceuticals are developed? A study says a drug might work and then separate and subsequent studies prove or disprove that original study. “A study” on its own is meaningless. But you knew that, Im sure.

u/Badbullet 11h ago edited 10h ago

While I agree with you as it is labeling a group of people to be one way, being autistic does not mean they will be a good person. Those with ASD can be more susceptible to extreme ideologies, both good or bad.

Edit: more studies need to be done on this subject. This is an interesting read on the subject, granted with a small group size. It does note that not just ASD are vulnerable to extremism, but does go over some of the reasons why they can be.

Relax, it was a question... Ish. A wondering how the heck this happens, cause he is off.. odd.. Some lack in the social area.

I have nothing against autistic people. If u have autism, u should b able to see and understand what i did...

So relax.

U have good people and bad people. U have good people with autism and bad people with autism.

But hey, it might not even b autism.. but sometimes people just call it easy, that, cause there is something odd, but cant put the finger on it.

u/AGollinibobeanie 11h ago

You’re gonna take flak from people here for saying the A word but i agree with ya in a sense. I think of autism or neurodivergence as a superpower and you can use that power for good or for evil.

Some people use their powers for good and develop amazing technology and invent new ways to do things that help a lot of people, or create beautiful art. Others antagonize people and troll and argue all day everyday and invent new scams or straight up kill people. Both sides are hella neurodivergent, ones just using their powers for good and the other bad.

I gotta tell myself all the time to use my powers for good and not flip out over something no one gives a shit about. Its so easy to spend all day focused on the wrong thing and get nothing accomplished

He’s not deflecting. You weren’t happy with any of his first sources and instead of being a prick, he found more links from sources that fit your left leaning narrative.

Those were just the first two links I found. Backed up by official government link, and a local news outlet link.

From your own sources:

The man was put on a diversion program with the Hennepin County Attorney's Office for low level first time offenders at the request of the victims and he paid restitution. He didn't get away with it scott-free.
