Not for nothing, two common autistic traits are hyperempathy and a heightened sense of justice.
Amplifying my autistic traits more and more until certain people stop associating being a nazi or not understanding consent with autism

This is really interesting! I’ve definitely met some people on the spectrum who do have hyperempathy.

But I’ve also met some who don’t. It really depends, and as somebody else said, people on the spectrum are not a monolith. They are as varied as any Neurotypical people.
this is my area of specialty, I'm happy to support anyone or educate

the double empathy problem is omnipresent

it's so rampant in the research and has done Autistic people a significant disservice

hyper-empathy is a huge part of being Autistic for some people

+ trauma

it's complex

I have been told by doctors that I can't be autistic because I "communicate too well" & I "relate to people too well," and it's like these dense assholes don't realize that hyperlexia is an indication of autism and that women (particularly women w/ C-PTSD) have their autism manifest as hyperempathy.
The similarities between how medical professionals treat autistic woman and how they treat trans women are remarkable. A lot of which seems to stem from being attached to certain narratives about what we "should" be like and refusing to trust our testimony.
This one’s doing the rounds again. Hilariously all the Medium comments don’t believe me either

It's called "hyperempathy"

I don’t think the “answer” to hyperempathy is to figure out a way to turn my empathy off, I think it’s empathizing with myself more.

Trying to turn it off sometimes works in the short term but it’s such a poor adaptation to what the long term pattern ends up being

Lesser-known #autistic traits: We often personify objects, or feel empathy on their behalf. I think it’s related to hyperempathy, at least for me.
I’m getting a new phone today. This one has been with me through a lot of tough times. Both my daughter & I are #autistic -ly sad about “abandoning” it. But it’s held together by duct tape & giving me glass splinters & the battery can barely hold a charge. I need a new one.

I was a sensitive child. I'm a sensitive adult.

I care so much and so deeply that it consumes me.

Knowing others are in pain fucks me up so much I'm still learning how to function without breaking down.

This is hyperempathy, and you guessed it! Also an autism thing!🧵

GDI, I want to just be mad and disgusted and call it a day, but. My hyperempathy kicked in and wants to know what has happened in Megyn Kelly's life that she won't let herself condemn.

And can she please go to therapy before her kid turns 15, apparently.

If I seem oversensitive, it’s because I have looping intrusive thoughts, hyperphantasia, synesthesia, and hyperempathy—I *am* oversensitive, and I didn’t choose to be.
It doesn’t turn off, either.
When I say something is painful for me to read/watch/consume, I mean it *very* literally.

fucking hate this hyperempathy thing

#BannedBookSkyClub discussion of #ParableOfTheSower by Octavia E. Butler. #BookSky

How did Lauren's "sharing" or "hyperempathy" add to the narrative? Would the book be the same without Lauren and other characters having that attribute?

Octavia Butler used the term hyperempathy (or "hyperempathy syndrome") in her Parable series to describe a condition where a person feels the physical pain and pleasure of others as if it were their own.
Anyone has had problem with too much empathy?

Like, watching a series where characters get hurt and you care about them makes you get a whole ass anxiety attack?

I cant finish an episode of invincible cause i like the characters too much... That has been happening lately, a lot ....

hyperempathy mixed with paranoia makes for an absolutely atrocious combo

Oh look it's me!!

Gotta remember the term hyperempathy
I was a sensitive child. I'm a sensitive adult.

I care so much and so deeply that it consumes me.

Knowing others are in pain fucks me up so much I'm still learning how to function without breaking down.

suffocating hyperempathy go brrrrrrrrr

i got the hyperempathy flavour of autism which sucks when all your friends are trans women and

you know

*gestures to the world we live in*
June 17, 2025 at 6:21 AM
oh hey it's me. i have hyperempathy

but i'd like to note that you don't have to have "empathy" as commonly understood* to not want to be mean and hurt people. empathy is not the source of ethics.

*most people think empathy means "caring about others," that's not what it means at all
