I wonder if true empathy is the ability to let go of the ego ? @Plinz
Yes. We are born with innate priors that tell our brains how to shape our mental models. Innate priors for behavior are called instincts. When you have autism, your instincts are often wrong, i.e. acting on them may give you consistently worse results than you expect.

I don’t believe there is anything wrong with the innate instinct I believe it’s the fact that people don’t act or speak about how they really feel that’s wrong. Of course that’s confusing. I think this is the reason why animals are easier to read. What you see is what you get.

Nono, people tend to have instinct that tell them when not no act on or speak about their instincts as well. Instincts are not right or wrong, but they may be more or less useful priors.
