I don’t believe that autistic humans have an “inherent sense of justice” that can be read as a positive force, per se.
I do believe many of us have a sense of what *we* perceive as correct and “just”, but that is not at all uniform whatsoever.
Being autistic doesn’t make us better.
One only needs to look at some prominent far right autistics of our day, or historic autistics like Melvil Dewey or Francis Galton to see this is the case.
For those of us who DO fight for justice, this intense value of ours can be used to fight the good fight. For the far right, the opposite.
