Got me thinking about it myself, conflicting feelings seem to cancel each other out so it seems there’s nothing in the end to express - ambivalence is where you suppress a whole range of feelings en masse.

Have you wondered where the claim that autistic people lack empathy came from?@KatyElphinstone @Kir @autistics

I mean, I SAY, Allistics punish and I don’t punish - when I hatched I was hoping to learn that other Autistics don’t punish or automatically assume it like me, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’d have to say that it’s not an Autistic trait generally, maybe it’s only my personal obsessive special interest. -

oh, I’m on the coast, I don’t think my hummingbird feeder froze since November. I don’t think I’ve seen -10 this winter. -

Thing is, when I as an Autistic blame someone or something, I’m just identifying the causal chain of events - there’s nothing “moral,” about it.
.
It’s a “moral,” matter when you’re planning to punish who or whatever caused the problem. As a lifelong God’s fool sort of Autistic, that isn’t automatic, in fact I try to never punish anyone for anything.
.
So “blame,” is a word that means different things to different neurotypes, making these tests faulty from the start. We’re suppose to lack empathy because for them, blaming Sally means hurting Sally, which it doesn’t for me.
.
Worse, their version includes punishment, and they think that’s Human Nature and true for everyone so they don’t even try to compensate for that confound.

the google AI killed them, my thought too. We wouldn’t blame the person who actually looked it up before they answered!
