Rules?
There are rules?
The internal moral compass isn't enough?


Allegedly. :twisted:

I think the "autistics follow rules" thing lacks nuance when described that way. From what I've noticed, it's whatever rules make sense to the individual or rules that they set for themselves. So it's just as common for autists with or without ADHD to be willing to question rules if they don't immediately "make sense".

You should be proud of yourself. I'm sure that there are women who like these types of qualities in a man.
