I don't think I'll ever get over the attribution of "elevated sense of justice" as a "symptom" of autism. My sibling in science. This is not what you discovered. What you discovered is that "willingness to cheat when nobody is watching" or (perhaps, even) "virtue signaling" are symptoms of allism.

Autistic people have the sense of justice that allistic people claim to follow. Autistic people are more likely to actually behave ethically, regardless of whether anyone is watching or there is a social reward for it. This is not a weird foible with autists! This is a wild ethical breach by allists! Willingness to compromise on your stated ethical values is not "normal" regardless of how common it may be. Thats's weird! And troubling!

That's something worth looking into when it comes to allistic people. Leave autistic people with our propensity to simply believe and act accordingly out of your doublethink.
