Normies implicitly operate in deep abstraction. They think "how would doing this appear to the sorts of people I want to think of me as X"

Autists are actually less abstract. They think only about the action & are entirely unable to imagine their reflection in this sense.

This is why HBD etc is abhorred, because it signals that you are the sort who would think "rude things", that yr improper, impolite.

Thinking "What is the Truth?" is less abstract than "What is the received consensus of the class of decent respectable people?"

ime autists tend to understand why wrongthink gets a harsh reaction whereas normies don't understand why they are so repulsed

Pretty accurate. I don't understand why they get so repulsed to the degree they do, seems ridiculous to me. I know it's status signalling.

Yes but they have the potential to lose their social circles and potentially their careers.

Exactly, & understanding that this is why they feel repulsed is itself a problem which could make them stick out, they avoid meta-analysis

When I was younger I was constantly asking why saying certain things in public was a bad thing.Brutal honesty is probably an autistic thing.

We don't take things "personally" unless they apply to us personally. We don't identify with our intellectual positions on issues.
