This is not a valid excuse to go into asshole territory. Occasionally, you might not be in a position to understand why things are done a certain way - mostly because of inexperience, or your higher-ups might not have the time to explain the rules to you. Some examples might include regulations or standards.

It's alright to be humble and recognize that you may not understand some things sometimes. That's actually how you learn, and avoid pissing off your colleagues.

    Agree. Refusing to follow rules / policies unless you have a full explanation of why that rule / policy was made just makes you an unemployable asshole. Neurodivergent or otherwise. The idea of me explaining in detail a specific set of policies, having someone sit there smiling and nodding along, just to go right ahead and flat out ignore me would infuriate me, as it would basically anyone.

    And FWIW, autistic people generally do great with rules. The disorder generally leads to people struggling in ambiguity, not black/white rules.

    The original post + poster just suck
