The video of her litany is somehow even crazier than this quote. It just gets worse and worse.


This is actually backwards. Autism undermines the ability to evaluate intentions, which vitiates moral reasoning. Fascinating research into how different brain regions contribute to ethical intuition. Here are some relevant lecture slides from MIT.

And now consider,

The correct answer to the first scenario is 6 or 7 out of 7, and the correct answer to the second is 1 out of 7. People with ASD answer low (2 or 3 out of 7) for both, focusing exclusively on outcomes.

Lmao.
That is all.

You just blew this guy’s mind.
The way a condition is described or detected and where we choose to draw and name the arbitrary color boundaries is a spectrum. The way we actually are in reality is a continuum (along many dimensions). Some Homo Sapiens are so morally unmotivated and self-obsessed, we say they have ASPD. Yet many people you know are morally unmotivated! Their insufficiencies fall somewhere on that continuum.
That’s an interesting way to think about it.
