Saw an inspirational list of very neurotypical traits like never interrupting people, never being late and yada yada framed as things to aspire to as a "nice" person.

Like I get it, but honestly flagging fairly common behaviours of neurodiverse people and framing the "upholding of good manners" as somehow defining character is a bit tired.

@dianor At least some of them are also value judgements on societies: while it's probably true that a society where people are more often on time is nicer to live in (ignoring the effort one has to put it to uphold one's part) and more efficient, a society where people never interrupt each other might or might not be nicer to live in or more efficient than a society where the expected amount of being interrupted is much higher.
