This is only noble if you believe that autism gives an infallible ability to determine the reasonableness of rules and a perfect knowledge of how rules came to be, which it doesn't. The end result of this attitude is "I'll follow the rules I want to follow, and ignore the ones I don't", which is indistinguishable from a neurotypical asshole.

    No. The key is the questioning. If the answer is "don't question it" or "I don't know" or "we've always done it that way" it's not worthy of respect. Not following rules we don't like does not require asking any questions, and also can be done just as well when we already know the answers.

    No you fuck.

    Allistics don't question the rules but then also bend them frequently. Break them when no one is looking.

    Autistics question rules constantly and when a rule survives the questioning they view it as a slight against humanity when anyone fails to follow it perfectly. They virtually never break rules they respect, even when no one is looking.
