The stereotype of autistic people “lacking empathy” has always been misleading. It’s not absent, it’s just wired differently. 8/8

We may not mirror other people’s emotions in the expected way. We may not “read the room.” But when suffering is made clear to us, we often feel it intensely, sometimes more than those who claim to be naturally empathetic. 7/8

When people debate “empathy” in politics, it’s usually about cultural expectations, who deserves our compassion, who is seen as “worthy.” But from an autistic perspective, the issue is that empathy is not one size fits all. 6/8

Emotional empathy (sharing in another’s feelings once we know them) is often very strong, sometimes overwhelming. Practical empathy (wanting to help when someone is hurting) is also very present in autistic people. 5/8

Cognitive empathy (figuring out what someone else might be feeling) can be tough for autistic people, especially when social cues are vague. 4/8

Many of us don’t naturally “vicariously experience” someone else’s feelings. We might not read tone, body language, or social context the way neurotypical people do. That doesn’t mean we lack empathy, but that it often works differently. 3/8

This captures what most people mean by empathy. But for autistic people, that definition often feels alien. 2/8

RFK Jr's aggressive ignorance and scientific ineptitude is horrifying. He fundamentally does not understand or accept the most basic empirical principles for determining scientific information.

I hope American medical science can quickly recovery from his absurd & tragic tenure as Health Secretary.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services.

This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage.

Keep up the fight.

At 13 hours on the house floor Corey Booker demonstrates what it looks like to be a leader.

I hope he shames every other Democratic Senator into following his lead.

Neurodiversity has reenergised my thirst for knowledge.

Best place to explore is the human mind and no better place to start is with your own brain.

With thinking and reason I will set sail upon the oceans of my mind.

The answer to all our problems is in our heads. Individually and collectively.

Neurodiversity drives humanity. Our greatest strength is our differences.

Stand
In the end, you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do

Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere

Stand
For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
