Autistic sense of justice

Curious what everyone’s experiences with “justice” are. For me personally, I can’t fathom the mentality required for punitive justice because I know it’s ineffective. Even the idea of someone suffering (in any way) as a result of doing me wrong brings me distress and I can’t wish for it.

Does anyone have an “autistic [rigid] sense of justice” in a more punitive direction? Could you try explaining it to me? For me, I think it’s because I know punitive justice and punishment are ineffective at solving problems or anything, and because i know that to be True, I can’t really empathize with people who disagree.
