Some people are just raised to make informed choices, y’know. Doesn’t mean they’ve got a diagnosable condition, they just aren’t part of the “default settings” tribe.
Like you know allistic nerds exist, right?
Comment on Default Settings Are Eating The World
Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 4 days agoI’m going to say something that may be upsetting — My guess is you’re autistic. Allistic people simply do not have the attention to detail necessary to do anything but default settings, and when defaults become dark patterns it exploits allistic people and aggravates autists.

My parents absolutely do not make informed decisions and did not raise me to.

… OK? Is the implication that you make informed decisions despite that, or are you just volunteering info?

The former

It’s not attention to detail. Normies are affected by social pressures and emotions. Their behavioural patterns are baised towards acceptance.
Take that away, and an autist will assess the function and intent. The only desire is something that works, and is designed to work towards the user’s interests. Anything with a dark pattern will be set alight.

“Without emotional senses” is rude and inaccurate.
Social pressure is just one of many factors instead of the be-all end-all factor. That doesn’t mean this person is missing emotions or emotional sense.

If having an ad blocker and reading grocery store tags to get the best deal makes someone autistic, then like, everyone I know is autistic.
That’s the dumbest metric for measuring autism I’ve ever heard.
