One of the most confusing aspects of Asperger’s syndrome (AS) is the strict adherence to rules but, at the same time, having a disrespect or unwillingness to accept authority figures.

On the other hand, they often question or refuse to follow rules or even accept that teachers and other authority figures have the right to create rules.
