>How much of that do you had more to do with upbringing or environment?

Honestly, I'd be surprised if it had much to do with upbringing at all. Even in healthy families, Autistics just don't have the sense of self that Neurotypicals do.

If anything, introspection skills in Autistics are worse than being able to read the emotions at others. It's at least possible to visually and audibly perceive changes in the body language/tone of others.
