I find this article interesting because I've often had a different view on authority and social norms than my peers growing up. I think there's a lot to be gained by identifying what qualities in a leader and society are actually pragmatic. However, I really dislike how it leans into autism vs neurotypical. It sounds like an "us vs them" assessment where "us" is smarter than "them", which is hard to ignore and represented in many of the comments here. Although there are many things I continue to push back on, I've begun to appreciate the value of some norms as I get older. I don't think my acceptance of any of things in isolation is a good indication of how smart I was at any given moment in time.
