General Discussion

Authoritarians are rigid in their conformity to their own social norms. They absolutely do not consider themselves weird. And, as someone with Asperger's, let me assure you that authoritarians are considered far more normal by the 2/3'rds of the population who are not authoritarian that many people with Asperger's are. As long as the authoritarians refrain from "saying the quiet part out loud" they generally fit right in in society. They frequently move right up the ladder into high corporate, military, and government positions, whereas people who genuinely come across as "weird" struggle to maintain employment.
