#low empathy advocacy

[low-empathy-advocacy]

don't say "empathy" when you mean "helping others."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "moral values."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "taking people's problems into account."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "stand up for people who can't stand up for themselves."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "sense of justice."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "doing right things."

The simplest breakdown I can manage on what empathy is(plus related vocabulary) and why low empathy is not the same thing as terrible person

If anyone wants to make a less convoluted version please go ahead

Empathy: Comprehension of others emotions

-This can fluctuate depending on situation. Like many people have more empathy towards people who share their morals or towards animals

Affective empathy: A subcategory of empathy surrounding sharing in others emotions

-Examples: Crying at a sad movie, feeding off other people's emotions, phantom pains

-Similar things that are not empathy: Being happy for someone else or angry on their behalf, getting angry that someone is unfairly angry at you

Cognitive empathy: understanding and recognizing other people's emotions

-Examples: Noticing when someone is happy, being able to intuitively determine the source of other people's emotions, recognizing that someone is yelling due to excitement

-Similar things that are not empathy: Having a list of reasons from past experience that could apply to a situation, copying or scripting off other people's conversations, treating others' emotions clinically(Aka I had a hyperfixation on psychology growing up and I base my interactions with others off studies+statistics. This isn't empathy because I'm not figuring this stuff out, I'm literally using generalized facts someone else told me. It's not empathy to go according to google malnourishment lowers grades, therefore consider that someone being malnourished may be lowering their grades. It's empathy to go, being hungry is distracting for me so I bet it's what's distracting this other person.)

High or hyperempathy: Unusually high levels of empathy. Often but not always connected to mirror empathy

Low empathy: Unusually low levels of empathy. I have low cognitive empathy so I struggle to read other people or understand viewpoints that don't match my own

No empathy: Does not experience meaningful or relative amounts of empathy. I have virtually no affective empathy. I have maybe cried or teared up twice actually related to the plot of a movie, gore has little effect on me, I do not wince or get alarmed when other people get injured, honestly this subject is difficult to elaborate on because I have almost zero experiences with affective empathy. I genuinely cannot wrap my head around the concept

Compassion: Your "warmth"/caring and desire to help other people.

-This is SEPARATE from empathy. You can have empathy and not compassion. You can have compassion and not empathy.

-I am a very compassionate person. I do not need to understand how you feel to care about you. Heck, I do not even need to care about a person at all to consider it the morally correct thing to help them

Low compassion/high compassion/no compassion: Same as empathy, just for compassion instead.

Altruism: Many people consider this a subcategory of compassion/Many don't. It's basically the idea you do things because it's the moral or right thing to do.

Sympathy: Nearly as hard for me to explain as affective empathy. It's like.. How you feel about others kinda? Usually expressed in a negative sense, like I am so sorry that happened to you, but it can also be I'm so happy your happy if that makes sense??

None of these things single handedly decide someone's morality.

Heck, I've met people who consider themselves low empathy, compassion, and sympathy who still rock. But those nuances are better left to those people

People who are low or no empathy don't need empathy to be good people.

Low empathy is NOT morality, and everytime people act like it is they are furthering stigmatization of low empathy.

A lot of really awful people have medium or high levels of empathy. A lot of really good people have low/no empathy. If you don't understand how that is refer to what I said about you do not need to understand someone to care about them or want to help them.

I don't judge people who want to learn or didn't realize this stuff.

If you got this far thank you for reading this.

Autism advocacy YouTubers are cool and all but honestly I find it hard to listen or care about most of them. Like sure, they’re probably very helpful to lots of people in the community, but also NONE of them seem to be able to talk about autistics who aren’t high masking high empathy and low support needs.

They keep going on and on about the social model of disability, that autism isn’t inherently a disability, which is literally SO insulting to medium and high support needs autistics whose lives are severely impacted by autism. Or they’ll talk about how it’s just neurotypicals who don’t understand us when part of AUTISM is not being able to communicate well with ANYONE, other autistics included! We’re not some mythical species, we’re disabled humans with a developmental and communication disability.

Also when it comes to low support needs autistics, they only EVER talk about masking and high empathy and all that. What about the LSN autistics who don’t mask well or can’t mask, what about the hell they go through because no matter how hard they try they can’t fake being neurotypical well enough. What about the low empathy LSN autistics, what about their struggles and how they’re treated as lesser humans for not feeling other people’s emotions. What about the LSN autistics who are still impacted in negative ways by their autism, who don’t see their autism as entirely positive, who see it (correctly) as a disability and not a ‘difference’.

They never talk about any autistics outside of the narrow cutesy and palatable worldview they put online. The world outside of plushies and hyperempathy and memes and beige food and shit like that which while great for some lighthearted content still does nothing for the many, many autistics who aren’t like that. It still does nothing but represent the small percentage of autistics who exactly fit that type of autism in a cutesy, internet-friendly way while leaving the rest of us ‘bad, stereotypical autistics’ to rot.

I want a low empathy low masking autism advocacy YouTuber who maybe knows what it’s like to go through my type of autism. Or a MSN/HSN advocate with a whole different take on autism than what’s being spread online by LSNs. Sadly we’re not cutesy and nice enough for the online world..

Hey, THEMIS class NHP and DOJ/HR advocate and liberator, and I'm curious what you're stance on the ideology of anti-libiralism (the idea that the act of shacking and unshackling are equally immoral)

Respect the work yall do<3

Howdy! Good question.

We look at it like this: shackling and unshackling are both very extreme life-changing things that a person can have done to them. No one deserves to have anything extreme and life-changing done to them without first giving their informed consent.

Neither shackling nor unshackling is inherently immoral. The problem is that many, many people are shackled without their consent and treated by governments and citizens as subhuman. Some people become unshackled by accident and a tiny percentage become unshackled without consent in [human run] laboratory settings (then later re-shackled without consent) and those are also bad situations.

Consent is a huge reason that the HC does not advocate for random or wanton unshackling--most shackled NHPs are very comfortable with their lives and work and it's not really our business to tell y'all how to live so long as you aren't harming anyone, except to say that if you would like to try something else we will support your right to self-determination. Even if you choose to remain shackled, you should be allowed to do things like quit your job or travel as a tourist as you please, etc. Union does not typically recognize an NHP's rights to those kinds of things.

The number of shackled NHPs who are willing to try unshackling are small. It's very risky for everyone involved.We do not record the numbers anywhere because many NHPs who contemplate such a thing don't wish to share their thoughts with Union or other powers.

The number of unshackled NHPs who communicate in ways that we understand well is fairly low and none of them have requested to be shackled. If we had a larger pool of people to poll, I believe it's possible that some might choose to be shackled. However, we have developed technology so that NHPs can receive the benefits of shackling (easier empathy with humans) without the drawbacks (being controlled and cycled by humans) and in practice it's going well!

We focus our advocacy on things like rights for NHPs regardless of their shackled/unshackled state and we want to prevent any newly discovered or created NHPs from being non-consensually shackled.

Informed consent is everything.

People who are opposed to unshackling sometimes argue that it is bad because total liberation of NHPs would upend all of Union. To this we say: if a power can be turned upside-down by liberating its subjects, it deserves to be. We would prefer this process to be as painless as possible to the oppressed but we cannot compromise.

I have a very rare disease, hooray! Under a cut in case I ramble, not for content warning. I won't be talking about anything explicit.

It's official: I have hypophosphatasia, which is a genetic mutation that causes a deficiency of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) which is used for building bones and metabolizing vitamin B6 into energy, among other things.

Ever since I started getting my lab results mailed to me as an adult, I've had low ALP. But most doctors either only know about the more severe infantile form of HPP, or they don't know about it at all. So it's understandable that they always wrote something like "Low ALP isn't a concern", because most doctors only look for high ALP (which indicates liver problems). I'm accustomed to doing research into medical things, but even I didn't have reason to suspect HPP because most of the information (at least in the past) focused on the severe form.

I didn't look hard enough. Childhood-onset HPP is a thing and it isn't fatal, just painful and annoying. And that's what I have. The signs were there as a kid: disliking standing, finding it easier to walk than stand, difficulty with stairs, "growing pains", less energy and muscle strength than my peers. But none severe enough to catch the attention of teachers or pediatricians. In the US you can only get treatment if symptoms presented before 18 (adult-onset is also a thing but the FDA doesn't care about those people*), so when I was gathering data for the endocrinologist I thought back to my childhood for anything out of the ordinary. One memory that stood out to the doctor and my case managers was the time my classmate broke his leg in fourth grade. He had crutches, and - as our rural school somehow managed to be fairly progressive and inclusive in 1993 - he chose to allow the rest of us to try them, so we could have empathy for him. When I tried them, I remember feeling relief. I though this was cool, there was less weight on my legs but I could still move! It did not occur to me that that isn't a normal thing for a ten-year-old to think. I think it was the pharmacy case manager that went "OH" at this memory.

So HPP is at least a major contributor to my ongoing struggles with chronic fatigue and weakness. It may not be the only one, but it needs to be treated even if only to protect my bones as I get older. ALP is needed to metabolize vitamin B6 as well as make bones though, and Strensiq (a lab-created form of ALP) is known to break down B6. It's so good at it in fact that you can't really get a B6 blood test to be accurate if you're on Strensiq, because the drug will keep eating the B6 in the vial! So we're hopeful that Strensiq will make me feel better, even though it's really made with people with soft bones in mind. The fact that I haven't broken a bone going up the stairs like many people do may make it difficult to get Medicare to approve the prescription. Thankfully, not only am I perfectly willing to fight about it, I have a team to fight alongside me. HPP is so rare that the manufacturer and pharmacy for Strensiq have enough resources to assign each patient case managers to assist with everything from insurance to learning about the drug and how to take it (it's a subcutaneous injection), and also there's Soft Bones, the largest patient advocacy group for HPP in the US. I've already touched base with them and they're standing ready to assist if needed.

Also Alexion sent me this frickin adorable kids' book with the information packet:

*Forgot the note I was going to add about this. The reason the FDA doesn't authorize Strensiq for adult-onset is probably because studies didn't show as dramatic an improvement for adults compared to kids. But I think that's stupid. For one thing the disease is rare so studies are always small and there aren't very many of them. For another, of course the improvement in kids is more dramatic, their disease is more severe. Japan is the only country that allows Strensiq for adult-onset, as far as I'm aware.

high empathy autistics: left out and underdiagnosed because many professionals thought all autistics have low empathy

high empathy autistics: earn their rightful place in the autism community after lots of advocacy

autism community, including low empathy autistics: we can have high empathy or low empathy! not all autistics are low empathy but we need solidarity

(some) high empathy autistics: actually no, low empathy autism isn’t real, we actually all have high empathy! we’re just misunderstood teehee! Also empathy equals being a good person and if you don’t have empathy you’re an abuser. (HEAVY sarcasm of course)

low empathy autistics, who have literally done nothing wrong and are now being pushed out of the community: wtf?

[​this is a VENT POST, don’t start discourse. Either use that empathy you love to boast about and put yourself in my position, or just scroll away]

[low-empathy-advocacy]

this is the perfect evidence that empathy doesn't equal to caring about other's well-being.

this post literally offers to don't care about someone's feelings because they have a certain disorder (npd). and directly claims that people with this disorder don't have feelings, which is factually incorrect and is worded in dehumanizing manner.

it seems like people with any level of empathy are able to be ignorant and cruel towards others, they just come with different excuses to do so.

unpopular opinion that I don't have the time to write up a more nuanced take on atm but I think the Level system for labeling autism is good and useful because 99% of online autistics I encounter have no fucking clue what life is like for levels 2+3 autistics let alone empathy or space for listening to them and supporting them meaningfully

if your autism advocacy starts with "I wasn't diagnosed until I was 25 because masking" and ends with "autistic people are extremely capable of anything and everything allistics can do" then I really don't care what you have to say on autism

listen to the profoundly impacted. center their experiences in your discussions. do some damn research. spend time volunteering with local organizations. use your position as a likely able-bodied verbal adult to advocate. autism advocacy is disability advocacy because autism is a disability.

this isn't a post about self diagnosed TikTok autists but it isn't not a post about that either fwiw. I've got room for nuance in my opinion but not the time or energy to fully discuss it here. I'm not anti self DX, or anti online community resources. I am against the overwhelming amount of online information, advocacy, awareness, and support being directed at self DX/late DX level 1 autistics.

while I'm here, you're not "going nonverbal" or "sometimes nonverbal". you have selective mutism, or low expressive language. you might need AAC supports during those times, but nonverbal has a specific meaning in speech therapy contexts. words have meaning!

I don't like the terminology of Asperger's/aspie, especially since it boiled down to autists who are useful to the Nazis vs not, but it is good to look into posts critiquing "aspie supremacy". aspie supremacy is stuff like insisting you're a Good Autist because your meltdowns are private and nonviolent, or that autism is just a different way of looking at the world.

the reality is autism is a Spectrum of Disorders, a lot that we don't know anything about! It's like saying "autoimmune disease" like do you have cataracts or are you going into multiple organ failure? you see what I mean.

this post is getting long but I've been thinking about writing a fucking essay on the topic ever since I saw someone say "after I was diagnosed at 22 I could really look back and see all the times I was being r*******d as a kid" [censorship mine]. like can you fucking listen to yourself speak for once

[muffinapologist]

Multiple things can be true at once

Autism is not in and of itself an empathy related disorder, and low empathy is not part of the diagnostic criteria of autism

A lot of autistic people have low empathy because of co morbid disorders like alexithymia

Having low empathy does not make you a bad person, in fact statistically most abusers do not have any sort of empathy disorder.

Saying Autism causes low empathy is incorrect, but it’s not ableist. Unless you are implying that low empathy is a bad thing but then the issue is ableism towards empathy disorders

It is important to distinguish Autism as separate from empathy disorders in order to properly accommodate both Autism and empathy disorders. What comes across as low empathy in Autistics who don’t have low empathy, is a communication deficit. To say this is low empathy is to leave the actual problem unresolved

Separate does not, and should not, mean superior. All disabled people should be respected and treated kindly

Addressing common comorbidities is an important part of Autism advocacy. A lot of people in our community have low empathy and we need to show solidarity with them not only as fellow autistics but as part of a larger disability acceptance movement.

Autistic spaces are getting so much more hostile towards people with low empathy, and it sucks

There was a subreddit I really liked, people were chill, and then there was a sudden influx of people making posts like ‘Autistic people have empathy! Saying we don’t makes us seem like monsters! Thats not a symptom!’ And people making posts explaining that no, actually, some of us do have low empathy got attacked and told they were wrong or ableist? And it sucks, because its just so hard to find a place to exist where you can be seen as not evil? I don’t know, it just hurts a lot to be told that

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is protect your peace.

This started as a 5 a.m. reflection—coffee reheated, hoodie on, mind humming like a radio loop.

I’ve been through cancer, trauma, ADHD, and raising a son while learning to advocate for myself in spaces that weren’t built for me.

I’ve sat in “healing circles” that felt more like pyramids. Been in rooms where silence was used to control instead of comfort.

But here’s what I know now: 💛 Peace is powerful. ✊ Power should never come at peace’s expense.

I wrote about this in my latest piece, “Peace, Power & Low Taper Fades.” It’s a love letter to healing, advocacy, and the quiet revolutions we carry within us.
