It may be the first time many people are actively considering these things if they haven't generally felt social struggles / aren't on the spectrum.

Yeah. I wonder why that is - is it because it highlights a conflict between our actions and values? If left unexamined, it's a non-issue, so having it spelled out feels like a problem being created?

Sometimes doing something explicit that is typically done without thought or plan feels phony and off. This is such a scenario.
