I think over time it DEVELOPS into a sense of justice... but I think at the beginning, it has roots in our adherence to rules. Most of the sites dealing with "what to look for" will talk about the "Little Policeman of the Playground", as a warning sign your child may fall into the spectrum. We DO tend to "follow the rules' and be disturbed when anyone breaks them, ESPECIALLY if they get away with it!! Rulebreakers who aren't punished make my blood boil sometimes. I've often wondered if Aspie's in the Middle Ages didn't gravitate into the Courts because of this. I know a lot of attorney's turn up "on the spectrum" and while most of us feel free to "break a rule that doesn't make sense" we also get quite irritated when someone breaks one we consider valid!
I pretty much agree with this. I was really big on following the rules when I was younger. It was since then that my sense of justice developed and now, it dictates which rules I think should and shouldn't be followed.
