| While I would agree that autistic individuals are less skilled at lying, some / many can definitely still try to lie. If anything, they just lie differently. Differently? How do you mean? Lying by omission, exaggerating or downplaying, using half-truths or partial-truths, gaslighting, excuses... no... |

| That is a much better business model than people checking out stuff and then buying it online from somewhere else. Where I live, in the last 10 years or so, I have to get through several homeless camps in what used to be the downtown shopping district. The shop windows that are not boarded up in th... |

| Whether they should or not, the fact is they are. With lease prices skyrocketing and consumers with a lot less disposable income (along with a stronger preference for on-line shopping) Actual shops are only going to continue to become less and less competitive. |
