Aspergers Have Empathy

[ImNotMyIllness]

I don't have Asperger Syndrome but I found videos on YouTube of a lot of people that do. They are caring, intelligent, loving people that have nothing but empathy. They're just are not able to read people's faces therefore making it difficult and frustrating to figure out someone's emotions.

These Morons on the news that have no expertise in the field are claiming that it's a disease where you don't have empathy. "You're missing that component that makes us all human." WTF!!!

Idiots!

Lack of empathy describes psychopathy, not aspergers.

Yeah i saw the news and I got sooo freaking angry because of the way they were trying to blame the whole incident on the condition. It's freaking obvious they don't have a damn clue. But hey! They gotta blame it up on something "logical." Bunch of idiots. I do not suffer from aspergers but even I got offended with the direction they are taking.

I think I have asperger's and I know that I can empathize with people. Just because one person with asperger's committed a crime doesn't mean the rest of us will too. In fact, I think many people with autism are less violent and are the ones being bullied usually.

I am a member of similar forum and someone posted on there how they don't have empathy for others and things like this just roll off their back, it shocked me because I dont hear that much, then tons of people posted and said they are like that too. Even sadder, that tehre is so many people un-able to show empathy for others....
