Hurting = bad. More hurting = more bad.
The rest is surprisingly easy to derive. Not sure why people struggle with the concept…
But socks, oh my… Where could I possibly begin.
Is hurting Putin, Xi, Trump or Netaniakhu bad?

also simply keep the social contract and you get to be included in do unto others (golden rule)

short answer is equal reprisals
Feeling injustice is pretty universal. I don’t think it’s characterising autistic trait.
i think you are missing how many people have stunted empathy in the world and how they tend to fall conservative in politics
I thought, autistic folk have stunted empathy by definition? (they can’t reliably read other people’s emotions).
In my experience, “stunted empathy” refers to the reading part. As in we’re bad at reading facial expressions or situations unconsciously like neurotypical people do without even thinking.
What comes off as coldness is just missing information. Thats the frustrating part.
But the actual feeling/response isnt stunted, necessarily. In may even be unusually strong, but I think that is down to personality.

You think wrong. Psychologists do use a heightened sensitivity to injustice as a diagnostic criterion when trying to see if someone has ASD.
And to highjack this comment as well to correct the record on your view of empathy and autism: empathy can be roughly divvied up into cognitive empathy (reasoning why someone is feeling a certain way) and emotional empathy (recognizing that someone is feeling a certain way). The former strongly depends on one’s theory of mind, which tends to be under developed in people with ASD. Saying that someone with autism has “reduced empathy” is reductive and can lead to wrong conclusions (for example, one could conclude that autistic people care less about justice).
Treat others how you wish to be treated. It’s pretty easy.
Socks that slide down or are a bit too small? Kill me 😊
The Golden Rule kinda falls apart if you’re a masochist into CBT.
It’s not like “Treat others like they express they want to be treated” has that much worse of a ring to it.
When I was a kid, I went through a phase where I didn’t want to wear socks at all. Didn’t like the sensation. Then I went through a very long (decades) phase where I would wear my socks inside out. I realized that it solved a lot of the sensation issues.
For the past several years though, I have been on my third phase of socks; merino wool. Specifically the ones marketed for hiking. The kind you buy at an outdoors store like REI. I can wear them like normal, and the feel kinda like a blanket. Such great socks man…
Wearing socks inside out is huge. Some socks are better right side out, but is rare. I also agree that Merino wool kind of solves this problem, but, as a general rule, “wear your socks inside out” should be in the autism handbook.
Being told to do something I’m doing, or accused of shit, makes me fly into a rage instantly.
I remember years ago I saw a joke online that said something like, if there’s a difference between right and left socks, you’re autistic. I was like, that’s stupid, obviously there’s a right and left sock, and I’m not autistic. A few years later, BAM, autism diagnosis.
