Nah, that’s everyone. Rosario Castellanos penned some prose about not crying at funerals and such but crying after burning toast instead.
Crying for burnt toast, so to speak, is universally human. Though the regulatory process is different. It’s because the neurotypical person regulated their tears, temporarily, but never dealt with them later, that the power to regulate emotion is used up when the toast thing happens.

Oh no, that's universal
But for what I know autists can reach this state much sooner - their own brain spam itself with sensory information at all times.
I don't know how I would survive being autistic.

If you never sat on your kitchen floor, crying for 20 minutes because you dropped a glass of pasta sauce: are you even living?
