Criteria

Hypocrisy and corruption are easy to breed from that, true. But the NT is also get a nice set of useful tools from it as well, like choosing their battles, and not painting people into corners.

How those tools are used are basically down to core morality and how you want to apply it to your subordinates, co-workers, and management.

I suspect I'm not fully ante and a lot of those lessons were difficult to figure out.

So far, the other comments have failed to realize that this is actually some of our thought process and way of adapting to neurotypical norms.

I will say that after I get used to a person's body language and speech patterns, I tend to ease off of assuming ulterior motives (which has bitten me on the ass once or twice).

Or we understand that a lot of the criteria is just a wishlist, and as long as you meet a significant chunk of it, the rest can be learned in the job.

I think this is more true than most would like to think.

Reality is more nuanced than the words with which we describe it. A lot of NT "flexibility" is about recognising that. But, it often spills over into what is, really, lying.

They're just made of better material.

...I'll see myself out.

And for the record, I'm on the spectrum as well.

I can see where you’re coming from. Some people do have ulterior motives or misaligned morals, so it’s good to stay aware of that possibility. At the same time, assuming that’s true for everyone might not be necessary. Instead, it can be more effective to recognize that bad actors exist and use that knowledge to look at situations from multiple angles when needed. This approach helped me to stay critical and aware at (mostly) the right times, without jumping to conclusions too soon.
