      The tweet misunderstands autism (And vaguely calls it ‘nuerodivergence’). Questioning rules in autism is, at least in my own experience, more about justice than merely understanding why the rule is. We’re not asking why for the logic, we’re asking why to make sure it’s just. You don’t usually loudly disobey an unjust rule unless you’re making a stand, you do it quietly without acknowledgement because people who enforce unjust rules tend to be vindictive and cruel about it.
