Not only that, as you undoubtedly know, but the implicit social expectations and judgments are strongly present even in supposedly objective areas such as courts of law.
I don't remember all the specifics and I've lost most of the references since then, but I've read some research on this, and regardless if you are a victim or accused for a crime, if you have ASD you are at a massive disadvantage.
One example: Research appear to show that while people with ASD commit violent crimes at about the same rate as the general population, they are incarcerated at a much higher rate. I've seen numbers between 2 to 4 times the incarnation rate.
