    Do Autistic People Have a Stronger Sense of Morality?

    In some respects, yes. A number of autistic adults describe an almost visceral discomfort with dishonesty, favoritism, or bent rules, the kind of thing many neurotypical people shrug off as “just how things work.” That’s not a quirk. It shows up repeatedly in research on moral rigidity and rule adherence in autism.

    The pattern seems to trace back to how autistic cognition handles consistency. Where a neurotypical brain might flex a rule depending on who’s involved or what’s socially convenient, an autistic brain is more likely to apply the same standard everywhere, to everyone, every time. This is explored in depth in relation to moral rigidity and its connection to a strong sense of right and wrong often seen in autism.

      Man I wish I saw this clear, easy to understand comment like two months ago when I was trying to exlain something in here. Failed, downvoted, aye.

      Good summary.

        Yeah, it immediately came to my attention… because one of the most devastating career effects of autism is not being to able to go-along-to-get-along, which, at least for me, is largely an ethical thing. It’s dishonest for me to pretend to care about you just because you are my co-worker or my boss.

        I mean, I’m polite and courteous and am there for people when I feel there is a need, but the constant ball-fondling of the NTs has me at great social disadvantage.
