I’ve heard people say that autistic individuals lack emotions or empathy. Honestly, that couldn’t be further from the truth in my case. I feel deeply…especially when I see others being discriminated against for things they have no control over, like their height, their disabilities, or other differences. Just because we may express emotions differently doesn’t mean we don’t feel them. If anything, the so-called “normal” people—the ones who mock, exclude, and look down on others—seem far more heartless to me.
