"I can't help but wonder if there's something about the tendency to black-and-white thinking characteristic of autism that makes it hard for people on one end of the autism spectrum to appreciate that the experiences of people on the opposite end might be very different from their own." I don't think it's specific to autism. This type of bias is extremely common in everyday life, especially if you see yourself as the victim of some failed activity (this, other therapy, failed medical procedures, or any compulsory thing in schools that someone was bad at or got hurt doing). There tends to be an overreaction when anyone figures out that some preferred/standard action is not what they were led to believe when thier eyes are finally opened, usually through an injury.
