Several people have asked me where I got the notion of the hyperneurotypicals vs autism spectrum culture war on my map. IIRC this (~6 months ago) was the first thing I read about it, but it's since come up a lot http://quillette.com/2017/07/18/neurodiversity-case-free-speech/ …

While some small minority of people may be neurologically incapable of avoiding offending people because they can’t read social signals (ok, get a doctor’s note), this mostly seems like a way for trolls to smirk as they hide behind the skirts of the disability rights movement.

Somewhat like that idea in poli sci that some kinds of authoritarian government try to make sure the rules are complex enough that everybody is in violation of something all the time, so there's automatically leverage available against anyone they want to target

The issue with respect to speech codes (I’m not a fan to be clear) is not whether people are in violation but whether they *persist* in violation. Ok, maybe your neurodivergence means you can’t read the room. But can you follow instructions?

No. We don't see the point of instructions if they are not logical. We are not programmable via social authority in the same way as you are. I understand that it appears to be normal to you to behave according to the norms you are hypnotized into via empathy, but it is not for us
