This is coming from a neurodivergent guy. I just don’t get it. I mean, I know it’s probably because we act differently, but WHY EXACTLY do some people decide we’re lesser than neurotypical people?

    Because the whole fucking world is ass-backwards. I mean, FFS some defining traits of Autism are:

    • Having empathy

    • Having a strong sense of justice

    • Having a strong disposition toward fairness

    This would imply that allistic people do not have empathy, do not care about justice, and like when the deck is stacked.

      What’s your source for this info? “Having empathy” surprised me; I’d often heard the opposite is true
