Is empathy political? an article on autistic empathy, by K.J. Elphinstone
Instead of autistic people lacking empathy, our empathy may simply be expressed differently – both in its form, and its direction of travel.

@iwoakura Read it. I'm not sure I would say that making sure the person above you has the biggest steak or the best place at the table is empathy, that's more an attempt to engratiate yourself. You're neither understanding, nor feeling what they're feeling, you're just trying to show you're of value to them and make them feel good, if because of their position, either to obtain or avoid a certain consequence. I thought the rest was really interesting though.
