I believe I understand what you mean -- many autistic folks I know have a very specific sense of right and wrong and if something is wrong, it's wrong. If something needs addressed, it needs addressed.

And if the "wrong" thing is wrong in a fascist country it's a danger that you would not be able to stop yourself from speaking out about it or worse, not know it "wasn't OK to talk about" while all the neurotypicals did because of some unspoken body language code you also struggle to accurately read.

So you speak out and the secret police take you away because of what you said. Is this a fair representation of what you were meaning?

Fascist country neurodivergent resident: what OP said about neurotypical oppression absolutely happens and on a wide scale.
