I feel like some of these get very skewed depending on the person's upbringing and personal traumas. I know an autistic person who is deeply dedicated/committed to their partner(who has a severe mental illness), at the expense of the wellbeing of their children. That's not ethical or moral, but this person made vows to God and their partner, not to their children
Also "honest" is mentioned twice, and that's definitely one of those things that gets skewed too lol
Yeah, my partner is autistic/adhd, and he struggles so bad with being late all the time.
