Just a thought

It might be a super silly thought but it’s just crossed my mind so here it is (don’t beat me up please): are people on the spectrum tend to be bureaucratic? (because of adherence to the rules, need for clear and detailed rules and procedures) Would that mean that autistic folks like red tape?

  • Lol. A good question. I've thought about this in the past. Been an engineer most of life and wouldn't say that's bureaucratic at all except following service manuals. When I retrained as a librarian it was maddeningly bureaucratic- tonnes of procedure everywhere, but now I rely on them and wouldn't have it any other way- as I've gotten older, I do rely on rules more so now

    As for red tape...nope not in an officious way, but a project or research needs criteria ticking.
