I’m almost afraid to read that mans book to hear more about the level of dehumanisation that can happen to people who need extra support in their lives.
But I mainly wanted to comment on the main topic..remorse for things we have done wrong. I think there are big differences in lev of wrong eg guy who lies to his wife about money is not as wrong as guy who deliberately sets out to torture someone else. With autism, the guilt for both things can be equally big. Tony Attwood (and I’m sure there are other people but I don’t know them) has really good programs to help autists see the size of the wrong done and to help to modify the response accordingly be it personal guilt, or anger , sorrow or desire for retribution for something that was done to the person. Google him and see what you think.
Thanks again for your writing and your honesty.
Joan
