Socially and human relationship wise, psychopaths and autists share nearly the same pathology. At least in their most notable psychological trait. Both the psychopath/sociopath and the autistic's functioning in human emotional connection, the understanding of and reverence for human emotional connection, and the use of and recognition of their associated social cues is abnormal. Lacking. They don't seem to have the innate program that runs unconscious emotional understanding which comes stock for most humans. Their brain does not do this in the way that most people's do without them having to try. Psychopaths and artists have to learn this and consciously try. And yet psychopaths are deemed villains for this while the autistic mostly garner sympathy, patience and help from others. Why are psychopaths the villains and autists the long suffering unsung heroes? Because the psychopathic mind has figured out how to utilize this trait towards their own gain and the autist hasn't? I think we revere psychopathic traits whether we like to admit it or not and as such we view them as higher on the social hierarchy and powerful whereas reviews the artistic as low on the social hierarchy and inconsequential. They are victims of their abnormal psychology and should be helped. Nobody views psychopaths as victims of their abnormal psychology. Because they've taken their lack, their weakness, their abnormality and utilized it toward its strengths. Take your own weakness and use it as a strength.
