We just did an interview with a guy at my oxford house (sober living), and while he did get accepted, we asked him to wait outside.

and everyone starting making fun of him for being autistic and talking about how 'weird' he was. Even my own brother.

the house president was like "its been said hes an autistic"

Me and one other dude were like, lets give him a chance man. He did get accepted, but man i hate that shit

Why are people like this?

Believe it or not, there are some things that humans just do because they're not complete blank slates. It's like avoiding pain, or having a natural inclination to love parents and family.

The only way your point is true if include genetics as a "material condition" but that doesn't conflict with what I said.
