“The problem wasn’t only with the women, he says. The main problem was with the men. There was nothing for them anymore . . . I’m not talking about sex, he says. That was part of it, the sex was too easy . . . You know what they were complaining about the most? Inability to feel. Men were turning off on sex, even. They were turning off on marriage. Do they feel now? I say. Yes, he says, looking at me. They do.“
Handmaids tale, Atwood, page 322
“But people will do anything rather than admit that their lives have no meaning. No use, that is. No plot.”

IIAAT to be able to not do well with "just use your judgement"? For example, my psychiatrist told me to use my judgement about going up 25mg on my my medication and then she said "do you want me to tell you what to do?" and I said yeah. I also have a really hard time with "use your judgement" kind of things in school, I need really specific instructions on what teachers want otherwise it stresses me out so much.
Yes, autistics tend to require specific instructions and not do well with implications or open-ended questions.

Iiaat to not be able to pick up foreshadowing?
It could be for some. Picking up on foreshadowing can require an ability to “read between the lines”, that is, pick up on and understand implied meaning, as well as an ability to connect the cues given in a way that allows you to see them in a larger context (i.e. the plot, the character development etc.). Both of these things can be difficult for autistic people.
On the other hand, doing so also requires attention to detail (to pick up the cues in the first place) and good pattern recognition (to see where they may lead) which could also make some autistics especially good at picking up on foreshadowing. (This is me.)
