Hmm, and they say it's us who are lacking empathy and Theory of Mind and are thinking rigidly?!


I know what you mean. It does get frustrating, all this empathy thing. Sometimes Aspies lack empathy, sometimes we can be very empathetic. Sometimes NTs lack empathy, sometimes they can be very empathetic. It all depends on the person, the situation, the environment, the list goes on. That's the way I see empathy anyway, and that way it doesn't frustrate me when I see Aspies here believing so much about the ''NTs have empathy, Aspies don't'' stuff.

I am not referring to you by the way, I'm AGREEING with you. :)


Sure. It's not all as black and white as it tends to be described in the books.

And yes, I also think that all the "age" stuff it stupid. I heard a lot of that from my family when I was a teenager.
