“Autistic people can’t acknowledge when they’re wrong”
I have some ruminations on this. My ruminations may be completely wrong.
Double empathy problems start from a young age. Those with ASD figure out from a young age that there's a layer of social communication that they are not getting. They are often overtly teased for the faux pas' that inevitably occur. I wonder if this, plus a stronger penchant for black and white thinking does enforce a stronger aversion to "being wrong" then your average person.
Possibly even a stress reaction to previous trauma for some (I definitely think I'm on shaky ground there).
