While this is just a theory for the most part it is kind of interesting to think about. What if the double empathy problem is really just people who socialize like Neanderthals

    I’m not implying anything. The Neanderthals were a group of intelligent apes just like us. You are reading into this way to much.

    Your race and sex have nothing to do with whether you are autistic or have Neanderthal DNA. I my opinion sex, gender and race are cultural things. Autism in women and other groups looks different because of the way they were raised and cultural expectations. As it turns out we are all human in the end. Believe it or not we are all way more alike than different. I think as humans we put up barriers against others who we see as different even if the difference is mostly just in perception.

    You seem to have taken my shower though personally for some reason. I’m not attacking Autistic people or any other groups. All I’m theorizing is that there could be a generic reason why we socialize differently. I find it really interesting personally.
