Autism is a mental disorder, the defining characteristic of which is that autists are unable or unwilling to understand or care that other people are people too and that other people's feelings, safety or opinions matter.

They claim that they're "logical", but that's not actually true. By "logical" they mean "other people's feelings are stupid and I should not face consequences for being an asshole".

Yes, acting like an asshole is a common symptom of autism.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition, the defining characteristic of which is nonstandard information processing that can affect communication, social interaction, and sensory perception. People with autism may sometimes misunderstand or mimic social communication inappropriately, but they can and do care deeply about others. You appear to be describing antisocial personality disorder, or sociopathy, which specifically involves a lack of empathy or regard for other people’s feelings, safety, or rights. Some sociopaths may indeed be autistic, but it is wrong to conclude that all people with autism are sociopaths.

Nope. Autists are selfish assholes, full stop.

Anyone who has encountered an autist in the wild knows the truth.

Love the sociopathy stigma in this post, too.

The physical ability to feel empathy for other people != interpersonal behavior.
