    One of the characteristics of autism is rigid morals even when the morals will present a negative outcome for the one who holds those morals.

        Exactly, the autism/furry overlap is not small.

        I think it’s gone over everyone’s head that I’m a furry from the furry instance The implication being that I’m also on the spectrum. This is based on my own experience and antidotes my first hand assessment of the furry fan base is that it’s full of people that possess a higher than average set of autistic traits. Like half of us are in stem Fields.

          I’m relatively sure anyone in frequent contact with members of the furry community can probably provide anecdotal evidence of autistic trait correlation, myself included.

          I’m sorry you got the negative reaction for the previous post, but I’m glad someone else backed up the claim of rigid moral values. It’s an interesting link that seems to resonate with me.

            We also are more immune than the normies to propaganda. Probably because we don’t give a flying Fuck about what other people’s opinions are. Case in point my post history
