It’s interesting to muse about the larger picture here. What is it that makes autism so dangerous? To me it looks like part of an almost spiritual war against empathy/compassion by traumatized individuals trying to fight their own Jungian Shadow.

Autists (and neurodivergent people in general) tend to think more freely and follow the crowd less than average.

I’d say they’re dangerous in the same way as librarians are dangerous.
