Is it awareness and an application of injustice, or awareness of certain rules that are being applied only partially - the rules could go further.
Because justice and riles are assuredly not the same thing. Who knows the truth to determine what is just for others?
Ultimately, justice is best expressed by the golden rule: Do not treat others in ways that you would not like to be treated.
Dogs are at a different level to people too, so that is a further 'justice complexity' to be navigated by the individual.
Perhaps autistic people struggle with some of the nuances, and prefer the rules rather than the idea of justice or doing right. I think most people are like that.
no, the nuance is not about rules, the nuance is about right and wrong.
It’s wrong for someone to walk around with an animal that could be dangerous or could harm other people or itself. In this case, the rules aligned with my moral understanding.
Ashan sense of right and wrong is not based on outside rules, but it are internal perception. This is why many of us have anti-authoritarian tendencies.
Great article, thanks for sharing and attempting to correct a misunderstanding. I'm going to submit it here actually - I liked it so much. (Except for the singular political snipe - '#AutisticWhileBlack'.)
> Autistic children in school are somewhat notorious for finding it hard to adapt to the authority of teachers– some teachers more than others. This is not because they’re evil little ragamuffins, as some teachers would have it, but because their natural state is to assume equanimity. Autistic students (and I speak from long experience) will not bow to authority for authority’s sake.
Great! The reverse speaks to the problem that I think is common place - people going along with behaviour that they know to be wrong/immoral. Eg coding software that will restrict and restrain others for money. The last few years gave so many examples too.
In all honesty, if this really is the common case, perhaps autistic people might be the best of us - there is no governance structure in their heads, just reasoning.
If that's it, I hope that some autistic folk also do not settle very easily, but continue to research the state of play, refuse to trust 'authority' or conventional knowledge, investigate what their philosophical outlook is, work out what they really know personally.
