On Autists and Psychopaths

Is autism the same as the inability to act in a healthily flexible way and the fear of things being more difficult than they are? Can autists be cured with that sentence? They’ll start seeking flexibility and fearlessness with ”autistic accuracy”? Add in the teaching of taking body sensations as body sensations?

”So what if X is a psychopath!?” one of my bullies said of another in junior high school. How do other amoral people feel about psychopaths?

My mother said her mother made her into that. One of my mother’s sisters, who seems like a bad person herself, still said my mother is a psychopath.

{”In addition to psychopaths, there are of course other people who don’t care about right and wrong.”}

Are autism and psychopathy, to some degree at least, tricks and molds for raising children?
