This week on Neurotypicals Don’t Juggle Chainsaws, Kate Fox and Nic King wade into a slightly controversial topic—one that’s been on the list for a while but needed just the right moment. That moment is now. 

Yes, you can be autistic and be an a******. 

Just like any other group, we have our fair share of people who display manipulative, toxic, or outright abusive behaviours. And it’s time we talked about it. 

From spotting red flags to understanding why autistic and ADHD people can be more vulnerable to manipulation, this episode tackles the complex dynamics of trust, abuse, and community accountability.  

And, crucially, while every community has one (or several), the vast majority of autistic people are kind, justice-driven, and deeply caring.
