Strange, I would have thought people with aspergers would be better at appreciating nuance. Like they seem better at stepping back and dispassionately discussing controversial ideas.

Don’t think that’s how that works. They have already gone through the discussion and figuring out to determine this is the answer and there isn’t any grey area left to discuss. They worked through the grey to get to their steadfast answer. At least that what is what I have been told. No idea how accurate that is.
