Is America unusual in this regard?

  No, and ironically the poster of that comment is doing the exact same thing, judging people for judging people. Judging is a natural, normal, unavoidable thing we all do.

  I’m sure that exists everywhere, but if the magnitude is greater in America, I’d guess it’s because we live in a culture of hyper-optimization. Autism is just another thing that can be deemed as sub-optimal. It doesn’t even help that we’re more individualistic, because at least in conforming cultures there are simple rules that you can follow for social acceptance.
