That's quite me - my ex-boss and company couldn't stand it and tbh no matter where I go neurotypical people do not seem to understand it!

Autism justice sensitivity refers to a heightened sense of fairness, equity, and inclusion, coupled with a strong need to address and correct injustices. In essence, it means being extremely attuned to when something is not fair or right.
Research and anecdotal evidence suggest that autistic (and other neurodivergent) people tend to have higher levels of justice sensitivity compared to neurotypicals, though of course, it varies by person.
Importantly, autism justice sensitivity isn’t only about distress – it also ties into social justice and inclusion in positive ways.
Autistic advocates point out that being keenly aware of unfairness often drives them to take action against it. The neurodiversity movement itself (which fights for autistic rights and acceptance) is rooted in Autistic people’s awareness of injustice and refusal to tolerate it.
