Rain Man

A stereotype autistic people are often given due to people making specific assumptions and categorizing us into one group. The truth is that the Autism spectrum consists of many different personalities and the only thing that makes us stand out is our inability to understand social situations as easily.
person: So you have Autism?
Me: Yes I’m autistic.
person: So you’re like Rain Man?
Me: What no, omg. I just have a harder time understanding social situations than most people.
person: So you’re like one of those cold hearted calculated individuals who doesn’t let emotions get to you.
Me: Omg no, we still feel the same emotions and everything. We just have a harder time with understanding different people’s motives and how to interact with them.
person: Oh I get it. You’re one of those naive individuals who gets taken advantage of easily.
Me: (facepalm)

man up

4. It also means for a workplace, or corporation to deal with, take care of, and help those people that they have caused hurt, damage, and/or injury to.

5. It can also refer to respecting someone enough to go talk to them, apologize, do what's right when it is the right time to do so.
4. The opposite would be the company fighting you in court with expensive, fancy lawyers who's sole responsibility is to twist situations/blame and/or to lie for and protect the company or organization that harmed the person(s) sitting at the other side of the table, hurt for the rest of their life. When someone does this all for money; it's NOT manning up - it's the farthest thing from it. It's all about doing the right thing... and this is not it.

5. The boss had no idea who had dinged up the car door. But she went to her boss and told her boss that it was she that accidentally dinged up the new Porsche. She is admirable for (man up) her responsibility, and she gained a lot of credibility with her boss too. She asked for forgiveness, and all is fine & well now between them. I think it may have started a new friendship between them, just because she owned up (man up) to it.
