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.

    You may very well be autistic if you agree with this statement. As do I, an autistic person.

    Also, autistic people tend to see patterns very easily and extrapolate without effort:

    One possible extrapolation is that it would be better to have autistic people make important decisions of grand scale then neurotypical people.

    You could also extrapolate that an autistic whitness is more trustworthy than a neurotypical one.

    You could even go as far as saying that neurotypicals tend to be hypocritical as they tend to fight for a cause publicly but undermine it privately if that benefits them.

    I could go on for hours but I‘m pretty sure we‘re not allowed to hate on NTs here. I think you can very well see where this is going if you try to assert individual value for mankind.
