Autism and Empathy | Why People Think We're NOT Empathic (but we are)

I built my early career success on empathy — as an AUTISTIC adult no less. We're not robots, and we're not deficient — just different. Even in empathy.

You'll get a better understanding of autism and empathy in this little journey, and I'll share how we autistic adults express and process this. Quite well, I might add.
