It’s bullshit. If they were noble enough to limit themselves with a law, this law wouldn’t be necessary. This is far from the first time they’ve pulled this exact publicity stunt either.
Anti-corruption only comes from disruption. Protests, not parades that the city approves, but loud and angry protests that disrupt daily life and leave them no choice but to submit.
“You don’t seem autistic” That’s because I’ve spent my entire goddamn life trying to act and sound like you, because having no meaningful differences is a requirement to being treated with respect in this culture!
Sometimes people say that without being accusing, like they’re just processing the information and learning what it means that autism is a spectrum. But even then, it’s so hard not to be irrationally pissed when I hear that.
I think it probably scared the researchers too much that the “normal” neurotypical people were less likely to have moral values in any meaningful sense, so they tried (badly) to reframe it as neurodivergent people being bad. That’s probably what they’re used to believing in general, so they made an argument closer to their comfort zone instead of reporting the facts.
Kind of reaffirming the study, in a way.
I also want to know if this is a true story
Never heard this before.
Maybe this is related: when I did a huge remodeling construction job for a summer as an unskilled laborer, I basically ran around and helped different people on everything. That’s sometimes called being a “go-fer boy”. “Go for this, go for that” meaning I would always run around and fetch tools and do simple tasks.
