And I am saying that I believe that to be false.

You watching her not participating in pot washing is not the same as her "refusing" to do anything.

You've taken a clip and made a mountain of assumptions based on it.

She didn't excuse herself from pot washing on the basis of autism. She said social etiquette doesn't always come naturally to her so it just wouldn't occur to her in a group setting to join when tasks are being carried out.

Her struggling with menial household chores was a separate context where she discussed how housework can build up to a point where she finds it overwhelming to start tackling it all and finds it hard to start logically working through a list of chores.

Not once has she said she can't wash a pot because she has Aspergers.
