allistics& #39;/neurotypicals& #39; collective inability to perceive of experiences other than their own both blows my fucking mind out of the water & simply enrages me, on the daily.

LYKE....

the TOTAL PROJECTION
the TOTAL GASLIGHTING

&& how we STILL TEACH THEORY OF MIND IN UNIVERSITIES. AND THAT AUTISTIC PEOPLE LACK IT it& #39;s so ableist it& #39;s so bad it& #39;s so FALSE. if you can, please speak up against it when you see it.

Follow some #ActuallyAutistic people, and you& #39;ll soon find that they have some of *The. Most. DEVELOPED.* interpersonal/"theory of mind" skills.

That& #39;s what MASKING is.

AUTISTIC PEOPLE LITERALLY SPEND ALL DAY USING COMPLEX UNDERSTANDINGS OF "THEORY OF MIND" SIMPLY TO EXIST IN AN ALLISTIC WORLD.

and why???

BECAUSE ALLISTICS *HISTORICALLY* STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND THE FIRST THING ABOUT AUTISTIC MINDS.

allistics are the ones with the ~theory of mind~ problems.

one of the people you should for-sure follow, if you don& #39;t already, is @AutisticAlex174 !!

i have to partially credit Alex for this thread, for helping me sort my thoughts when a Social Psych class started teaching us "how people with ASD lack theory of mind."

i saw it for what it was, convoluted; but it confused the everliving shit out of me.

the "theory of mind" mess runs parallel with the whole "empathy" mess........ which, if you know what i& #39;m talking about, you are my people. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💝" title="Heart with ribbon" aria-label="Emoji: Heart with ribbon">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles">
