The Autism Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) and Autism Speaks making a joint statement in agreement is pretty crazy. You have to fail in extraordinary ways to make things like this happen.

When multiple people in your linage gets murdered in a small community this far back it gets amplified and the effect is massive over generations. It's been a lot to sit with.

This now makes for 3/4 great grandparent trees barely escaping being killed in the Great Wrath - considering the 4th is from the Torne Valley it's pretty safe to say all 4 survived it without finding evidence of specific attacks survived (yet).

The effect on my 7th-9th generation tree for my two grandparent's lines from this affected area are absolutely devastating - both because of the direct blood loss, but also the loss of what otherwise would have been ancestors.

My 9th great grandparents, 8th great grandfather, a 7th great uncle and his wife - all slaughtered, and burned.
I lost additional 7-9th great grandparents, and uncles. The two youngest being 8 and 12.

My 8th great grandmother had already died a year prior to the attack, her son was likely away, his wife to be was present and survived, so they lived and could have my 6th great grandma two years later, her husband to be was only 3 years old at the time of the attack and likely spared because of it.

I, prev, have found refugees from Finland, escaping the Great Wrath. And now, while investigating a tree collapse I realize that several of my ancestors were slaughtered, and burned, by Cossacks - so of course there's a tree collapse - they wiped out a significant chunk of the male population.

Empathy, and especially empathetic skill, requires differentiation.
Sympathy is caring, aligning with etc - it's not a skill, though, obviously can be refined in terms of ethics, alignment, preference etc. 6/6

Being an "emotional sponge," reactively taking on other's emotions, isn't empathy - in babies and young children it's an empathy precursor, but it's not developed empathy. This kind of emotional trigger/overwhelm *can* be due to trauma in an adult - but, again, it isn’t what Empathy is. 5/6

I go by the definition that Empathy is a neutral skill that normally does come with care, but is not synonymous to it. I view Empathy as partially synonymous to understanding - but with emotional and somatic empathy it requires an ability to simulate, 3/6

There are multiple ways Empathy and Sympathy gets used, and they're sometimes colloquially used synonymously but I saw someone call Empathy a trauma response, and Sympathy a skill you build up - this is a complete distortion of the concepts, and is pathologizing Empathy. 2/6

I've, again, seen people mix up what Empathy vs Sympathy is and I'm very concerned about this trend because major shifts in meaning of words tend to correspond to a change in culture. 1/6

Positive intergroup contact reduces prejudice against minority groups more than it does against majority groups. Why?
New research suggests it may be because minority group members are seen as being more interchangeable with one another.

Empathy is a skill, and it's kind of like with height: you're born with a capacity that's either stunted or optimized based on the environment.

Jesus consistently models and teaches empathy.
If in doubt: Luke 10:25-37 a man asks for clarifications on this highest commandment in Matt 22:37-40, who is your neighbor? The answer is everyone is your neighbor, including your enimies: you are to show them mercy.

Satan is the antithesis of Christ, sowing division, hatred, and chaos to counteract Jesus' message of love, reconciliation, and self-sacrifice.
