autistic people (I am one) suck at social cues. We’re very weak on that level of thinking. It’s kinda what autism is. So I cut autistic people a lot of slack for fucking up social awareness. Neurotypicals should have been able to spot him as a predator long before autistic people would catch it. Hence the extra slack I cut Terry. He did his best.
Gaiman behaves a certain way with certain women. How is a man going to know this unless he is there when it happens, Gaiman explicity talks about it or if a woman tells him?
How does being ND excuse anything? Even if impaired, a choice is a choice.

As an ND person, I know very well how harsh being ND is, and what the very real consequences of that are. And it might ultimately cost me my life.
But we are still ultimately always responsible for our actions. And we must always be aware of this.

This is true, but I don’t think it really makes sense here. He didn’t have a choice if he didn’t know anything was wrong with Gaiman.
