A common issue autistic people have is with “implied authority”, which has the same main issue as social cues. Doing things because “that’s how its always been”. A manager who has a job due to nepotism and a common courtesy that is just a white lie are going to cause the same kind of rage in an autist. If it can’t be explained in a way that is logical and fair, they will not have any patience for it.
I feel like you’re talking about a completely different thing, though. You can be no-nonsense but still nice to interact with, it’s something i’ve gotten hugely better at in just the past like 7 years.
Like in the example of someone who got their job due to nepotism i’d just bring that up to people i trust and report it to wherever such things are reported, your union representative if nothing else. I wouldn’t say “you’re a nepo hire and i don’t like that” to their face because that would be terrifying to deal with, but i wouldn’t be silent about it either.
If your response would instead be to rage about it to their face, then; like others have said, i think that goes beyond just autism and into oppositional disorder or whatever.
