Failure of perception, not feeling

[supergee]

Once again, people with autism do not lack empathy. And I love the phrase “people with neurotypicality.” People are not their mental conditions.

I worked with people with autism and no, they most certainly do not.

Some people get really worked up about 'cis' so I suspect 'neurotypical' must really upset a certain sort of person too.

Not me, I hasten to add!

I suffer, if anything, with a surfeit of empathy. So much it overwhelms; confuses and leaves me with nowhere to put it.
