    Neurotypical people are more “morally flexible.” Which sounds like hypocricy and corruption to me. Assume NT’s have ultirior motives and it becomes a easier to read between the lines.

      Hypocrisy and corruption are easy to breed from that, true. But the NT is also get a nice set of useful tools from it as well, like choosing their battles, and not painting people into corners.

      How those tools are used are basically down to core morality and how you want to apply it to your subordinates, co-workers, and management.

      I suspect I’m not fully ante and a lot of those lessons were difficult to figure out.

      So far, the other comments have failed to realize that this is actually some of our thought process and way of adapting to neurotypical norms.

      I will say that after I get used to a person’s body language and speech patterns, I tend to ease off of assuming ulterior motives (which has bitten me on the ass once or twice).

      That’s a rather uncharitable, and frankly conspiratorial, way of viewing things lol

      Or we understand that a lot of the criteria is just a wishlist, and as long as you meet a significant chunk of it, the rest can be learned in the job.

      I think this is more true than most would like to think.

      Reality is more nuanced than the words with which we describe it. A lot of NT “flexibility” is about recognising that. But, it often spills over into what is, really, lying.
