I don't think your view and the article's are mutually exclusive. I think that one of the article's points is that a lot of non-autistic people will go along with a rule that is clearly nonsensical if an authority figure tells them to, break a rule if an authority figure tells them to, and even do whatever they want if they think that nobody is watching. But for the autistic person, the pre-existing rule is possibly much more important than the authority figure, which makes miscarriages of justice, as you mention, upsetting. The autistic person is perhaps more likely to question an act or rule made by an authority figure if that act or rule violates some more fundamental rule.
