If I want I can manipulate people's feelings and actions. It's actually not hard at all. Some people follow a quite strict script and if you are a strong pattern thinker (which MIGHT come with autism), you can master this. And if you think this is right or wrong, all people with autism do not have super high and rigid morals. All are not sensitive to other people's feelings.
Autism equals innocence in many people's eyes. You're just too dumb to lie! Right... I do however think it takes intelligence to understand and map out people's reactions. It's nothing a low functioning autistic person would do.
The truth is some people with autism manipulate with great success.
I know it is not a popular view.
