As a parent of two now adult special-needs kids: Most neurotypical people don't really care either and are frequently extremely abusive as a group to anyone different, a la Mean Girls. The best thing I did to prevent my kids from turning into awful people was pulled them out of school so they could not be roundly abused by dozens of people daily and blamed for it because of "being weird." Superficial empathy and actually being good and kind are not the same thing and plenty of people who can perform superficial empathy are horrible people who use their social skills abusively.
