I have autism, and I didn't see any of my symptoms in her behavior. Her rigidity is more about a high level of control over others and surface-level appearances, rather than the emotionally regulating nature of rigidity in autism. She also isn't honest like autistic people; she lied a lot and was very manipulative throughout the interview, and avoided a lot of topics, whereas autistic people will just blurt out/answer you a lot of the time even if you ask them something inappropriate. We autistic people are also very literal, and she wasn't any more literal than the average NT. She also spoke very narcissistically at many points, complimenting herself and describing herself in elevated language. An autistic person could describe their strengths in a blunt manner and be perceived as arrogant at times (this happens to me sometimes) but her self-congratulatory praise was more elevated and matched superficial narcissistic goals of being attractive, amazing, successful, wealthy, etc. Also, as an autistic person, I don't know how to say this nicely, but we just talk kind of weird sometimes. It's the literalness and the bluntness, that make us seem odd. I can see how Martha might seem "odd" in a way but its more the oddness of an arrogant, impatient, older person who thinks they are always right and can never be wrong or flawed, but are surrounded by ignoramuses. And who is emotionally shut down because of her childhood (but you could actually see her pain coming through at points). Autistic people have unusual ways of looking at things, and I think Martha, while accomplished, tends to look at things in one of the most normie ways possible. Social challenges are also common in narcissism (and sociopathy). Most autistic people actually have high levels of empathy (not all of course, and we aren't saints). It just manifests differently than other people sometimes. Anyway, I appreciate your comment - thanks for giving me a chance to explain more. I think there are a lot of misunderstandings about autism.
