Meredith L. Patterson, author of "Okay, Feminism, it's time we had a talk about Empathy" points to her perceived lack of empathy from feminist critics because while they are talking about pervasive gender discrimination she is talking about how good she's had it - it's okay, she is autistic and has "blazingly single-minded focus" that 'just allows her to get on with her work regardless, and other's should too'.
