Autistic people can and do feel empathy. And here's another major news flash: WATER IS WET!!
Also I read a theory once (caution no sources) that sociopaths are addicted to empathy, at least those who go out of their way to hurt people.
Rudeness is always appropriate. I’m sure you love it when people do that to you. I was posting it because studies are being done on it. This is an important subject to me. Can you just ignore the thread and move on? This happens to be a personal issue for me right now.
I think it is just erroneous to place a lack of empathy as a trait on being on the spectrum.
For folks on the spectrum, I truly believe that it is more a lack of being able to communicate the empathy than a lack of feeling it altogether.
It is still good the spread the gospel , I mean as long as this myth exist its better to fight it with real info.he stupid myth that people with autism don't have empathy.

I'm sorry that I made you think I was being rude to you.
For many here, it isn’t. It’s been discussed in quite a few topics. Which isn’t to say it’s not allowed to be news for you. No one starts out an expert on autism, we all have to learn.So the information on alexithymia was not new to y'all?
