"All autistics have low empathy" - This statement is wrong.
"Autistics having low empathy is a MYTH, we actually have HIGH empathy!" - This statement is ALSO wrong.
Autistics can have low empathy, they can have high empathy, they can have learned empathy. The myth would be that all autistics only experience one end of the empathy spectrum.
In spreading around misinformation that autistics actually have high empathy, you are disregarding the autistics who do have low empathy. And vice versa.

Shout-out to the autistics who crave hugs. Shout-out to the autistics whose love language is touch.

Love the word "also". I have more things to say

what abled ppl think is a massive problem for disabled folks: 13 year old on the internet faking something
what is actually a massive problem for disabled folks: "well you don't LOOK disabled, are you sure you're not faking? I'm not giving you accommodations until you PROVE you're not faking. Please give me, a stranger, your medical info and explain your condition to me in detail so I know you're not faking and only then will I respect or take you seriously"
welcome to my page! this is my intro, and my first post.
i usually go by either lazuli or diamond. i used to have an old nsfw tumblr that got banned but all i ever did on that account was like or reblog stuff. this time around, i will stick to sfw stuff, and i'll actually start posting stuff of my own. hopefully i can avoid getting banned this time around lol.
i like to think that i have a lot of interests: photography, coding, writing, gaming, reading, and watching things such as movies and tv. this blog will pertain to these interests, and i will also treat it as kind of a journal.
if you've actually took the time to read this, i appreciate you. thanks for reading and i hope you stick around to see the stuff i do on here!
also, feel free to follow my friend on here because they're also pretty cool: @official-bunbun <33
