This. With that said many/most of these folks have impulse control issues.
While this is true, in my experience people with Asperger’s in particular and autism in general are at worst “lawful neutral” (in D&D terms). They are absolutely rule followers and see the world around them through that rationalist lens.
Note that “lawful” does not mean “legal” in this context; it means that they tend to rigidly adhere to their understanding of the world and rarely if ever deviate from that. As a result, assuming that they are knowledgeable of the rules of both safety and legal use of force - and I can’t imagine an Aspie person being interested in firearms who was not also one of the most knowledgeable people I knew in those areas - I would actually go so far as to say that I would trust them more fully than I would a “normal” (i.e., “neurotypical”) person with all else being equal.
