this is a really important message because it is a common misconception about autism, but it’s also important to acknowledge that people who have conditions that involve less of the other types of empathy are also important and are no less human because often times people try to dehumanize us (autistic people) by saying we don’t have empathy, and it is important to correct their misconception, but it is also important to assert that people who don’t have other kinds of empathy are just as important and valuable as those who do.
