This article picks apart a bunch of biases by the researchers of a given paper. The object of study was the differences in behavior between a group of autistic people and a group of non-autistic people when choosing between prioritizing value for oneself or value for the community.

I recommend reading the paper itself too. If that is, understandably, too much for you, I suggest you go for the introduction, the conclusion, and the segments mentioned in the article.

    I already heard about this, and fuck them. A whole lot. “Having moral convictions even when others aren’t looking makes autistic people inferior! They should be sociopathic, just like the rest of us!” Sociopathy is what will destroy us as a species. As we’re currently discovering, thanks to climate change.

      Could not have said it better. Thank you.

      There are more or less serious counterinterpretations like „how to spot you‘re neurotypical“ which turns the thing on its head. Equally hilarious and dystopian.

      Have a good one.
