What's the deal with "keen sense of justice"? I am not sure what it's called in English, but I keep reading that it's an autism thing and I definitely have been accused of an "exaggerated" sense of justice or having too much of it. Why do we have that?

@HaelusNovak @actuallyautistic
Yes, but why? How does this difference in sense of justice happen? I haven't seen any theories anywhere. (Or if I have, I've forgotten.)

@shiri I'm afraid you've lost me there in the first sentence. Why do we have a values-based identity vs group based identity? It sounds like everyone already knows, so maybe there's a link somewhere to get me up to speed?

@punishmenthurts @actuallyautistic No, it really doesn't matter if the question is posed as why do we or why do they. What I want to know is how the difference happens.

While I remember how horrible it was for me as a kid that everyone around me told me the rules were meant to be broken and I'd just have to keep quiet about it, I also wonder how much of my question got lost in translation. The German term I keep reading is "Gerechtigkeitssinn". This doesn't necessarily mean adhering to current laws, it can also mean to find current laws and rules to be unjust.

@shiri Thank you for the explanation and the link. I had never heard of it. It's a bit of a shock, because if this is true it would not only explain why I've never been able to "find my people", but also will mean that I never will.

@actuallyautistic I am trying to write a message to someone asking them to not be disappointed if I turn out to not be able to learn to understand all metaphors and visual imagery. I actually don't know if that is or could be a problem for me. I tried a quick search but the subject looks so complicated. How can I phrase a quick disclaimer that my brain might be wired differently and that it might require too much energy and masking to learn that communication style?

I have been trying to find something to read, but nothing is standing out to me. I guess I am in a slump of some sort. Any recommendations are welcome. I read just about anything, but very little fantasy. I enjoy nonfiction especially nature or social justice focused. I love middle grade books and some YA. So throw anything at me and maybe I will find something to get me out of this slump.

@CindySue @bookstodon My two favourite books at the moment are fantasy (kind of between middle grade and YA) But I can look through my nonfiction books, if fantasy isn't for you (it wasn't for me either, I just read those two because they were very queer and wholesome.) I'm in a reading slump, too, the only thing that gets me reading is when the looming deadline of the library approaches :D

PS: I'm looking through your storygraph link, do you find that storygraph helps you to stay motivated to read? I recently joined goodreads, which is, of course, not ideal, but at least I have four friends there that keep me on my toes.

@CindySue @bookstodon Oh, that's a lot of books per year, if you want to point me to your goodreads profile, I can double check there aswell, I'll probably find out that you've already read everything that I would have suggested. 😅
