Apparently I am empathetically deficient... I got a 19
"most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20"
It's both amusing and slightly disturbing that I got lower than the average person with Asperger Syndrome or Autism. Then again, I know I'm not a very empathetic person. It annoys me to have to try to figure out what a person is feeling when they could just as easily tell me. Emotions are not a game. I am not going to play Figure Out What Emotion I'm Feeling, and I'm most certainly not going to play Pretend I Can Empathize With Your Issues That I Do NOT Understand At All. On the flip side, once I know what emotions a person is feeling, I can be sympathetic if necessary.
