http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0383lf2 - it's so interesting, the way it's presented. Are those on the spectrum supposed to have, at the very least, different kind of mirror neurons? I know I could always empathize mostly with other animals...

Me too. Animal brains do not run the hive mind software.

Well no! It's not so and logically its not so either.
The hive doesn't mean 100% in a bunch, but most possibilities or individuals are in a cluster-center. Evolution and probability need variance, most is lumped in and around the hive, but indefinite small numbers of individuals will expand to indefinite possibilities, even the unviable, for survival.
