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.

I don’t think there’s any bad faith on Nils part here. The question is really whether the better norm is “assume neurotypical troll until proven ASD” or “tolerate socially toxic behavior until proven not-ASD”. It’s a context-driven judgment call.

Tainterian Darwinism so to speak kinda takes care of that. Complexity is a survival liability. May take a couple of decades but this stuff churns much faster these days esp in private sector. Org lifespans plummeting.
