@bilaaan1 Sluta larva med din känslosås. Personer med autism har empatistörningar, mer eller mindre uttalade - per definition. Det är en helt uppenbar risk att en människa med autism utför massmord. Forskningen är inte på din sida här: https://t.co/na6lAfxdTL https://t.co/PJVcVQg95f

@biancatoeps @Smienos Het spijt me, maar dit artikel is bijzonder reductionistisch. Het maakt geen onderscheid tussen verschillende vormen van empathie. U kan bijvoorbeeld dit interessante artikel eens lezen: https://t.co/yABq2DGNrU

@PerilousMoo @JoyAnnReid I took your response seriously and bought this study to educate myself. “This review highlights the clinical characteristics and mechanisms underlying empathy in ASD by summarizing 61 peer-reviewed articles.” Based on this study, I stand by my question. https://t.co/3Hcq9Is0Ws
