I don't think status transactions are completely oblivious to autistic people, but I don't think they are quite as natural to them either. In a way, an autistic person might often notice status transactions better, but they carry a lot less significance to such a person and might seem just ridiculous.

I don't know if I'm autistic, but I agree with this hypothetical autistic person's assessment.
