>how come someone whose brain only works through logic be emotionally manipulated?
Because they only THINK they're only affected by logic. No human being can completely remove their emotions unless they're full psychopath. Autistic people actually have extremely powerful and reactive emotions, but by the time they are adults they learn to repress them so they don't go around screaming all the time like autistic kids do. Being repressed, they forget they are there.
A good emotional appeal always has a grain of rationality to it, just like a good lie has a grain of truth to it. If you concentrate on that tiny bit of logic, you're fooled into thinking that is what's swayed your decision, when it's really the sob story tugging on your heartstrings, and the logic is faulty. The issue is, the subconscious emotional reaction is preventing you from recognizing the fault in the logic. This is the same thing that happens to everyone, but with autistic people they think they won't be affected, so they can't analyze their own reactions properly.
A normal person might step back and think, "Wait, is this guy for real?" while the autistic person thinks, "My mind only works through logic; I can't be emotionally manipulated."
