> I’ve written before about how autistic people often
struggle to know how to act around authority figures.
Actually, that’s not true– we don’t seem to care how
we act around authority.
I call bullshit. Autistic people can figure out how to operate around authority figures just fine when it MATTERS.
If some autistic person is fucking around with an ATM in front of a cop that they know is there, but don't care, that's being stupid, not being autistic.
I don't have to give a shit about how authority and power is granted to certain individuals, but it doesn't take a genius to realize that insulting the CEO in front of the company is not a good way to keep your job..
