There's a massive difference between being autistic and an asshole
Except that sociopathy isn't a word used to describe an asshole, it is an actual diagnosable condition.

Highly leveraged.Jesus fucking christ.
If he wasn't the wealthy owner of the company, he'd be on his fucking arse on the pavement outside by now.
The only thing that allows him to treat other people like that is his wealth. Imagine the CEO of Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, or any other listed company doing this.
It's worse than that.
There is a lot of cross over when it comes to the emotional traits of both.
It's not nearly as "out there" a comparison as you are believing.
It is even discussed in autism focussed material.

"So, let’s discuss the idea of “sociopath vs autism”. In my own experience working with individuals diagnosed with autism and others with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), it is evident that certain traits overlap."
The article you referenced shows the lack of understanding in the comparison: I want to ensure that the message is not misconstrued here as there is a clear difference between an apparent lack of empathy and an actual lack of empathy.
Would it be more accurate to say the perception of social traits for those conditions are similar?Empathy is just one aspect of it though.
The point I'm making is that there is often similarities between the emotional traits displayed by people with autism and those who have antisocial personality disorder (or a sociopath as they are more commonly referred to.) This is well recognised and doesn't in any way insinuate that anyone with autism is also a sociopath, that would obviously be ridiculous.
What Don said was "a lot of the emotional traits across those conditions are similar."
This is true.
Would it be more accurate to say the perception of social traits for those conditions are similar?
Edit: I say this because a lot of the autistic people I've met and known have been some of the most deeply caring people I've encountered.
