@forthy42 @fifilamoura @aral we don't understand people the same way neurotypicals do. Funny enough, autistic people empathise with each other at the same level NT people do

@Sh41 @fifilamoura @aral A lot of neurotypical people have problems to empathise with people who are different, too. And it's not only a different skin color tone that makes their empathy disappear… there are many ways to turn them into sociopaths.

@forthy42 @Sh41 @aral 💯 Quite a few humans would fail the theory of mind test too! Mainly because so many of us have a hard time understanding how unique and diverse humans are (for all kinds of reasons).

@forthy42 @Sh41 @aral Sociopathy is a part of neurodiversity, neurodiversity includes all brains not just autistic ones (otherwise there's no diversity, just another incorrect binary that actually ignores and denies diversity). Not all autistic people are the same either, obviously, even though it's often easier for us to understand people who are cognitively and culturally similar to us because then, if we're simply projecting onto them, our projections are likely to be slightly more accurate. Common assumptions can go a long way in creating a sense of consensual and consensus reality with someone (and these assumptions can come from biology or culture because the two influence each other).
