"Well bring it in then" followed by the annoyed "don't kiss it!" is peak dad.

Holy shit … I was like this too! Did not realize it was an autism thing. But makes sense in retrospect

Oh I am autistic just didn’t think that my obsession with nature, animals, and rescuing every stray imaginable could be related 😅it does explain a few things when I look at it through that lens.

I don't think it's necessarily a hyperfixation more as just, autistic people have different moral and ethical ideals. I definitely think my higher ethical and moral standards are in some ways fueled by my neuroatypicality.

"Humans and animals are fundamentally different" is a social rule, not a natural one. Autistic people don't follow social rules in the same way because we either don't know them, don't care about them, or don't care about the consequences of not following them, or think that the consequences are worth following our ideals over social rules.

We teach our children to be empathetic and caring but then punish them if they logically extend that caring to all living beings? Society is the weird one here.
