Totally agree. There's a lot in this seemingly simple topic.
Its often hard to unpick the differences that come from neurodiversity compared to the impact of living in a world that is often hard and even cruel to people who are seen as different.
Consequences of that is things that sound easy or simple rarely are.

Speaking as a psychotherapist, I wanna point out that almost no one "knows" what to say in a conversation.
We're all making it up as we go along and that's what most people enjoy about them.
Often the challenge is giving yourself permission to say what you want to say.
When people say "I don't know what to say" what's often meant by that is "I don't know what I should be saying"
If you can get past the idea that there's a right thing and a wrong thing to say, conversation can happen organically. This takes practice sadly, and means getting it wrong sometimes, and that's okay too.

I can understand why the Satanic Bible might look like dogma, I don't agree that it is. And religions like the Setians specifically don't have any dogma.
I think your point generally holds true largely due to the reality of the world, in principle and philosophy though, totally possible to find counter examples.

I guess the roles within this world are pyramid shaped, training and supervision are what I see as the more rarified aspects. Which doesn't suggest a hierarchy of those roles going to the best people.
my perspective is at a certain point therapy becomes about growth rather than healing, though it never loses that aspect. Some wounds never totally heal.

I worked out therapy is a giant pyramid during my training, been working my way up since
Currently training those therapists who work in supervising other therapists.

The first film paints a different picture.
The whole point of his story in that film was his growth and development, started saying "kids smell" and ended holding two of them safe.
He was the one throughout who kept his head, stayed competent in the face of fear and dealing with chaos.
The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge. This isn't a social media thing exclusively of course, I've met it in the real world too. When I worked as a repair technician, members of the public would ask me for my diagnosis of faults and then debate them with me. I've dedicated the second half of my life to understanding people and how they work, in this field it's even worse because everyone has opinions on that topic! And yet my friend who has a physics PhD doesn't endure people explaining why his theories about battery tech are incorrect because of an article they read or an anecdote from someone's past. So I'm curious, do some fields experience this more than others? If you have a field of expertise do you find people love to debate you without taking into account the gulf of awareness, skills and knowledge?
To elaborate... The UK has always favoured centrist governments, when the Conservatives get too nasty they're unpopular, Labour only wins when they do Thatcherism-Light, etc. We now have a choice between a relatively moderate conservative prime minister, who is admittedly being dragged to the right by his party and others, and a relatively moderate labour leader who has purged the extremism from his party to pursue a centre left agenda. In both cases, what I see are two people who believe in principles, compromise them for politics sake, who are fundamentally in favour of the status quo rather than revolution and prefer to win through being seen as competent. Fine, this has been the case most of my life. It's why I've been relaxed about politics. Whatever happens, things will largely stay the same with small incremental changes. The difference now is about the fringes. Not a day goes by recently without a headline grabbing policy coming out of the government press machine making a virtue out of being a bunch of ****s. The ridiculous culture war stuff, the politicisation of fear and anger. Pointless, ineffective policies that are intended to win a few votes regardless of the harm they cause. Sickening stuff a lot of the time, born out of selfishness of behalf of those in power to try and keep that power and get as much as they can for themselves. It feels like they be the ones looting the Titanic as it sank. So whilst Labour are not likely to usher in a revolution, a golden age or fix things overnight. I'll take centrist middle aged dad running the country if it means an end to this nonsense. An end to a government attacking it's own citizens in the name of defending the people.
