The reason for the empathy misunderstanding is fear. I think all humans are programmed to prioritise logic when things get really bad. So that’s the distinction:
We were deployed into different environments.
My environment was more threatening because of brain chemistry.
ASD is like an AI learning from the data that senses (external world) and adhd (internal world) provide it. This is where the AI is trained.
Because of wild dopamine fluctuation our world feels less stable, tangible. MRI suggests enlarged amygdalae in a lot of autistic folks; physical differences, likely as a result of the planet forming with bad weather,
So for my presentation (remember it’s a catch-all):
Fear leads to data which results in a logical ‘solve the problem first’ response.
This is probably a case of the AI functioning properly but the data being bad.
We are running the same programs in different environments. Or we were; my world is less scary now. I’m still trained in a scary world.
So I see a situation and think ‘fear; solve’ and you see it and think ‘time will solve; wait’.
And this is where empathy issues come from.
