God I’m so sick of that characterization of autism. Autism doesn’t change whether you feel emotions it just changes how you express them and how you perceive them in others. I find most people with autism (myself included) to be particularly sensitive in fact, in the way that anyone who finds themselves lower on some spectrum in the kyriarchy is.
Wandering the wretched earth with ridiculously overcomplicated thoughts about everything and disproportionate attention to fine details and out-of-place contrast while equipped with overwhelmingly powerful emotions that you process at 28.8k dialup speeds is super fun and exciting and makes me want to live
