I don't mean this in a patronising or condescending way, that's just a perk. Ahem. But some people lack certain faculties that the rest take for granted.

I'm like that. I talk about it in Jenny A's thead:

P.S. If Aspies can't empathize then I'm not an Apsy. I thought Apergers syndrome was more complex than that though...?
P.P.S I don't feel patronized or condescended at all you sweet little flower with your clever-wevvery talky-walky! *pats you on the head patronizingly*
(lol j/k (but seriously it's not patronizing of you)).
Aspies most certainly do have empathy, they're not sociopathic. Its that we often have difficulty expressing empathy in socially conventional means.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
