They absolutely do, and I have received tremendous amounts of kindness and support. Probably even more than in any other community I am vaguely part of.

Specifically: is there no way to clear up the misunderstandings that led to this serious gap in the Fahrplan? Your last talk was packed!

The perception of undeserved appropriation of authority may actually have been part of the problem.

Understandable. But in one of the Q&As you replied to someone questioning your authority on the subject, that it was your own perspective.

The problem is that I have no intuitive concept of authority at all, because I don't have the cognitive sensorium to perceive it. I don't see myself or others as authorities, and fail to account for how others do it. To me we all just look like people talking about ideas.

That touches the core issue with autism: people on the spectrum tend not to perceive parts of “social reality” (Lisa Feldman Barrett).

She calls it that in “How Emotions Are Made”. Like this better than Yuval Noah Harari’s “intersubjective reality” from “Homo Deus”

But the core issue is, that learning and understanding social reality requires the ability to read cues like micro-expressions.

Yes, and that is precisely a function of attention. Our form of autism is literally an attention deficit, caused by the functional absence of a specific class of reward signals. Micro-expressions look boring to us, because they don't indicate anything of subjective relevance.

You mention neuroplasticity in your talks. I know from personal & anecdotal experience that it is possible to learn this kind of perception.

Yes! It really is a function of attention. There is almost no limit to what we can learn if we can direct our attention to it, including perfect pitch, controlling heart beat and body temperature, detecting organic problems based on skin discoloration and gait patterns etc.
