@sensorystories_ This is fascinating. Have previously been told that I lack empathy, but have also been told I am over empathetic. Just did both tests, turns out my empathy quotient score is very low (indicative of autism, which I have), but my TEQ empathy score is really high. Thank you. 🙏

Autistic people don't lack empathy. But a lot of people mistakenly think we do, so I'm going to explain why it isn't true. First, I'll start by saying that autistic people CAN lack empathy. It's just not because of their autism. (A 20 part thread, this topic is highly nuanced)

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁! Thank you for showing your support for @bendavies05 Share your 📸 with Ben or the testimonial players 👇🏻

@DavidBurnett90 As a Cardiff fan, I think it’s goalie interference. He had the option to try to avoid the goalie and didn’t. I think the refs called it right. 2 mins for Anderson for goalie interference and 2 mins for McKay for the glove roughing.

No call on the play but after McKay throws a glove punch they end up giving Alderson 2 for GT interference🤣 where’s Alderson supposed to go!

@npaa_uk Have had a mate be told that the Equality Act doesn’t apply whilst they are off sick (disability related). That’s not true is it?!

Hey @DisabledPolAssn A pal has just been told by her Fed Rep that her police force only has to make reasonable adjustments when actually she returns to work (currently off sick - disability related) and EqAct doesn’t apply whilst she’s off sick. That’s not the case is it?!
