I don't understand why an autistic person would be incapable of expressing a technical issue in a way that isn't sexist/racist, etc, which is basically 99% of compliance with a CoC.

Downvoting has nothing to do with the CoC.

Autistics are not neurotipical

The Rust COC is so vague that anything can be flagged as "non welcome"

Nobody said racist or sexist and I don't understand were it's coming from

If they don't want sexism or racism, they should write sexism and racism

An autistic person will react differently from neurotipical when confronted about manners, in a way that the COC forbids

Communities should be goal based, tribes are based on rules and enforcing them

"Non welcome" doesn't appear in the CoC. The most vague part, I would say, is:

> Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.

The bar is extremely low here. No one is saying "you have to say please and thank you or you're banned" it's more like don't personally insult people to an extreme. That could be more explicit, since some people may have a harder time interpreting that - seems like valuable feedback.

I am quite sure that many members of the rust community are far from neurotypical and they do fine. Autistic people are capable of technical conversations in which they are not attacking people.
