Quote by Pierre Novellie

“If the majority of the population were autistic, we would've had cruel research into why these damn non-autistics are so unempathetic; they force small talk upon others, they eat smelly food on the train, and they force everyone to constantly look them in the eyes. Truly, the behaviour of egomaniacs.”

It has to be worked on, especially in a world where we’re self-consumed, self-absorbed, self-centered, and entertaining ourselves endlessly with algorithms that have been chosen for ourselves and our desire system. Where is there room for empathy? Where is there room for considering the struggles of others when you’re completely engaged in your own emotional spectrum being triggered by garbage that you let into your face?”
