Have you ever been called "rigid," "inflexible," or "too sensitive" for simply sticking to your principles? For many neurodivergent people, this feedback is a constant, exhausting reality that leads directly to masking and burnout. But what if this supposed "flaw" is actually a profound, biologically-rooted strength?

In this episode, we deconstruct the science behind autistic integrity. We introduce a critical framework for engaging with research—separating the "Structural Report" from the "Executive Summary"—to reveal how data showing incredible character strength can be twisted into a pathology. Drawing from a key study on moral decision-making, we introduce a new metaphor: the Moral Gyroscope, a fixed internal axis for fairness and consistency.

This isn't just a discussion; it's empowerment. You'll learn:

• • The three pillars that build your internal gyroscope.

  • The four predictable "ineluctable collisions" it causes in a neurotypical world.

  • A three-tiered defense protocol to protect yourself and your energy.

Learn to reframe your need for consistency as an obvious asset and turn their most common criticisms into your most defensible strengths. It's time to stop questioning your instruments and start trusting them.
