I personally don't believe that there is a such thing as "good" and "evil". The only thing that I believe in is human nature which can be both "good" and "bad" depending on the person's circumstance. Just because somebody lacks empathy doesn't make them a "bad person" let alone a monster by any means; it simply means that they are wired differently than most people.

I agree though that I find it insulting when people state that they empathize with me or feel sorry for me for what I am or my general behaviors. It is my experience that most people who state these things really don't care or if they do, they see you as being less than human because of your "disorder".

Now to add my opinion to the original topic at hand: I stopped giving a damn about society or their useless opinions of me or others like me long ago. To me, most people are idiots and thus, lack the capacity to understand anything outside of societal norms. As far as I'm concerned, I don't need society to live my own life the way I want, so worrying about their opinions or trying to change them is a waste of time and energy.

With that being said, part of me does long to be understood by people, however, I only desire to be understood by those closest to me and only if the person truly wants to understand, doesn't seek to judge or pity me, has the capacity to have an open mind, and proves they're capable of critical thought.
