4. Doesn’t show empathy
Empathy refers to the ability of someone to see the world from the point-of-view of others. Furthermore, it involves being about to actually picture how someone else is feeling and then caring about how that person is feeling. In order to be empathetic, a person needs to have a variety of skills.
While someone with Asperger’s syndrome might be able to see that someone else is hurting or in pain and might actually care that someone else is having those feelings, he or she may not know how to properly respond to what they see and understand someone else is experiencing in a proper manner. People with Asperger’s might want to respond to the way others are feeling, but they may not know how to do so. As such, people who have this disorder are often viewed as not having empathy, which can make them seem uncaring.
