You are perfectly correct @Doc Strange and I admit I was generalising quite a lot on the Asperger's/Autism because it is a very wide spectrum well, basically it's a spectrum. My stepson, his father, his two half siblings by his father and quite possibly his sister are all on the spectrum and I have had years of experience coping with the traits of my Stepson and his fellow sufferers at the special school he attended. The key point is though that a lot of sufferers like Greta Thunberg and Bill Gates have a very inflexible view on what is right and wrong and an inability to see things from other people's perspectives which seems to give them an unshakeable belief in their own 'correctness' and they steadfastly refuse to accept the possibility that they might be wrong.
In recent years it seems that the media and the courts have become more powerful than the government and they dictate. The BBC certainly seem to think that they have the power to dictate to the public and, in the States, despite Trump being labelled a dictator he actually got very little through as most of the time his policies were blocked by the Democrats using the supreme court and other state legislators. Here in the UK of course Boris was thwarted over and over again by the courts. The reality, when you step back is that it seems that largely our leaders have now become thralls to the media and the law.
