The idea that autistic people don't feel compassion is just an ugly stereotype, but it's a viewpoint I've encountered even from some professionals, despite obvious evidence to the contrary. For instance, Temple Grandin – probably the most well-known autistic person alive – designed a more humane type of slaughterhouse for cattle, one which keeps them calm and stress-free up until the end. She cared enough to reduce the unnecessary suffering that so many animals experience for humans' convenience. How could anyone not see that as compassion?
