A) people on the spectrum can be cruel “for no reason”
B) “no reason” actually means “a reason I don’t consider as valid” not that I am saying that cruelty is justified, just that people will have their reasons, even if they are simple as “i was bored”
yeah there are evil asshole autistic people. no group is absent some evil pieces of shit. idk how they got that way but i know if they do have a sense of justice they only apply it to themselves.
I actually wonder if it’s easier for certain ND people to act in a way that night appear “evil” when really they’re missing emotional context and just maximising some technical thing they’re fixated on. Thinking of technocrats, consultants, techbros, and other minmaxers that will enact brutal efficiencies and be confused when people are upset with them idk
I have this very loose hypothesis based entirely on armchair diagnosing people at a distance that some people I label as fascists (while still being fascists) are ND folks who “just don’t get it” when it comes to people wanting “woke” things like community, diversity, reciprocity, squishy complicated relationships, bustling markets, and fifteen minute cities.
They’re more comfortable with clearly defined relationships based on power and transactional exchanges.
My opinion is also based on the fact that I’m like that, but spending enough time in tech made me realise I didn’t like the company. That is it’s better to suffer through the squishy stuff than seek comfort in a harder view of the world.

C) NT people don’t instantly accept cruelty as normal and go theough the same “why did this happen” experience
Yeah this infantilization is not helping anything.
