Is it normal to feel emotional when I see disabled or autistic people?

Hi everyone,

I want to start a discussion about something that happens to me often and I can’t fully explain.

Every time I see a group of disabled people or autistic people, I get very emotional. It almost makes me want to cry.

I wonder:

• Why does this happen?
• What does this reaction of my mind and body mean?
• Does it indicate something, like I should learn more about the topic?
• Is it normal to have this kind of emotional response?

I’d really appreciate hearing opinions, psychological explanations, or similar experiences from others.

Thank you to anyone willing to share.
